Happy seeder

A Happy Seeder is a no-till planter, towed behind a tractor, that sows (plants) seeds in rows directly without any prior seedbed preparation.

Flail type straight blades are mounted on the straw management rotor that chops the stubbles that comes in contact with the sowing tine.

[1] Happy Seeder is a proposed solution for stubble management after harvesting of the paddy crops.

It is similar to a Zero Till Ferti Seed Drill developed by National Agro Industries.

[2][3] Usually, many farmers in Punjab and Haryana burn stubble, which has a severe socioeconomic and environmental impact on the North Indian regions.
