e0“Manual ginger planting is a tedious, drudgery-prone, and time-consuming operation”
e2“As the speed of operation and seed size increased, the multiple index and Quality of Feed Index (QFI) decreased, while the missing index and damage percentage increased for both types of fingers”

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.
- 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.
- Observation The performance of the metering system with P2 fingers at 0.56 m/s was judged satisfactory for medium seed sizes.
