Other claims from this paper (8)
- Method / resource The highest quality of feed index of 77.14% for ginger rhizome planting was observed at 0.56 m/s with P2 fingers.
- Method / resource Miss index, multiple index and visible damage were lower with P2 fingers than with P1 fingers.
- Intervention effect Visible damage of ginger rhizomes increased with increasing planter speed and seed size.
- Intervention effect Multiple index decreased as operating speed and seed size increased.
- Intervention effect Quality of Feed Index decreased as operating speed and seed size increased.
- Intervention effect Missing index increased as operating speed and seed size increased.
- Association The speed of operation was the main factor significantly influencing the performance indices of the planter.
- Association Speed of operation, seed size and finger type had significant effects on average seed spacing.
