A study was conducted to evaluate experimental set up for site specific application of neem coated granular urea. This was aimed to enhance fertilizer use efficiency, saving in input cost and reduced environmental degradation due to excessive use of fertilizer. The lab set up was developed based on design requirement consisted of fluted roller metering mechanism, mechanically actuated fertilizer dispensing system, fertilizer box and chain conveying arrangement for fixing cotton plant stem. | Site specific application of neem coated urea for cotton crop - A lab study
