Abstract
Battery operated single row weeder was evaluated for its performance in chickpea crop. This test was conducted at different type of blade, speed and depth of cut of weeder. The effective field capacity of battery operated single row weeder was varied from 0.046 to 0.026 ha/h at 1.5 to 2.0 km/h forward speeds at 25-30 DAS. The weeding efficiency of battery operated single row weeder with 1.5 to 2.0 km/h forward speeds, C- type, J-type and L-type blade at 30-50 mm depth of cut were varied in the range of 82.75% to 90.24%. The minimum plant and maximum plant damage was observed at a L-type and J- type blade, respectively.
