dc.description.abstract | As the population of our country is increasing day by day, there is a need to supply food to each and every individual. It can be done by increasing the productivity of the crop by supplying enough nutrients to soil with organic manures. Though the chemical fertilizers increase the productivity, it deteriorates the soil qualities and causes imbalance in chemical equilibrium. So application of organic manures is the only way out. Farmers usually follow manual manure application practices which involve lot of drudgery for its field application. Physical properties of the manure affected the manure discharge rate through the blower. Denser manure gets deposited at the corners and on the other hand less dense manure creates drift due to atmospheric wind. A study was conducted to determine the physical properties of manure to develop a machine for Farm Yard Manure (FYM) pulverizer cum applicator. Bulk density of the dried manure was found out as 195, 492 and 520 kg m-3 for cow dung, goat faecal pellets and neem cake respectively. Sun dried manure was preferred for clump free pulverization. Tapped density of the dried manure was found out as 308, 668 and 748 kg m-3 for cow dung, goat faecal pellets and neem cake respectively. Angle of repose was found out as 43±0.1, 37±0.1 and 38±0.1 deg for cow dung, goat faecal pellets and neem cake. Optimum angle of repose of pulverized manure helped in easy flow ability, suction and conveying of manure. Results from the study indicated the need of developing an air tight casing for the pulverizer cum blower to prevent the effect of wind. Coefficient of friction and degree of pulverization also played an important role in optimizing the blower speed to dissipate the powdered manure directly to the soil. | en_US |
