Seed-cum-fertilizer drill are being increasingly used for placing the seed and fertilizer at proper and-uniform depth in lines. Besi~es it facilitates mechanizing agricultural operators. This standard was firstpublished in 1973and was revised in 1993. It has been decided to revise the standard again for the following reasons : a) To enlarge thescopetocover therequirements ofIS6816 (Parts 1to4) :1973 LSpecification for fluted feed roller type seed metering mechanism-’;IS 6817 (Parts 1to 2) : 1973 ‘Specification for plate type seed meterrng mechanism’; IS 10778 (Parts 1to 3) :1983 ‘Specification for furrow opener for seed- cum-fertilizer drills’; IS 12599 (Parts 1to 4) : 1989 ‘Sowing and fertilizer application equipment — Fertilizer metering mechanism — Plate type’; IS 12613 (Parts 1to 4) : 1989 ‘Sowing and fertilizer application equipment — Fertilizer metering mechanism, fluted feed roller type’. With thepublication of this standard these standards will be withdrawn. b) To incorporate requirement of one more type of seed and fertilizer metering mechanisms. c) To update the standard. For the purpose of deciding whether aparticular requirement of this standard iscomplied with the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall berounded off in accordance with IS2:1960 ‘Rules forrounding offnu~erical values (revised)’.
