Field evaluation of different machineries was carried at Central Coffee Research Institute (CCRI) and Coffee Research Sub Station (CRSS), Chettalli during the year 2012-16. Results of field evaluation on different spaying system indicated that significantly higher field efficiency was observed with Multi Utility Track Vehicle spraying with 4 spray lance ( ha per hour) and it was on par with Centralized Spraying System with 14 spray lance ( ha per hour). Lower field efficiency was observed with power tiller spray system ( ha per hour) with 8 lance. | Mechanization in Indian coffee plantations Evaluation of different machineries to improve labor use efficiency and to reduce drudgery
