ABSTRACT
Performance of three weeders namely Ambika paddy weeder, Cono weeder and Power operated rotary weeder were compared with the hand weeding. The highest plant damage (14.88 per cent) was observed in Power operated rotary weeder and lowest (10.22 per cent) was got in hand weeding. Field capacity (0.19 ha/h) under Power operated rotary weeder, Ambika paddy weeder (0.0589 ha/h) and Cono weeder (0.013 ha/h), Hand weeding (0.0026 ha/h). Highest field efficiency 69.45 per cent was observed under Ambika paddy weeder and the lowest in 61 per cent Power operated rotary weeder. Performance index of Power operated rotary weeder, Ambika paddy weeder, Cono weeder and Hand weeding was found (0.10), (0.045), (0.031) and (0.026) respectively.
Key words: Weeder, Rice, Performance of weeder.
