This device is an individual unit fitted behind a cultivator. The cultivator stirs and pulverizes the soil before planting to aerate the soil and prepare a smooth, loose seedbed. After planting, the cultivator is used to kill the weeds. The clod crusher acts in two ways (i) breaks the soil clods and (ii) buries the uprooted weeds into the soil for mulching. The length of the clod crusher is a foot more than that of the cultivator to provide a better coverage area. - The machine covers 0.325 ha consuming 3.5 litres of diesel per hour.
