Field demonstration was conducted during Kharif season 2012 to 2013 to study effect of seed-cum-fertilizer drill sowing machine for soybean crop at farmer's fields in tribal area in Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. Soybean sown by seed-cum-fertilizer drill was found better in term of growth character (plant population, plant height, number of branches per plant and number of ischolar_main nodules per plant) and seed yield weight per plant, seed index, seed yield, straw yield and harvest index (%) comparison with simple seed drill sowing machine.

Field demonstration was conducted during Kharif season 2012 to 2013 to study effect of seed-cum-fertilizer drill sowing machine for soybean crop at farmer's fields in tribal area in Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. Soybean sown by seed-cum-fertilizer drill was found better in term of growth character (plant population, plant height, number of branches per plant and number of ischolar_main nodules per plant) and seed yield weight per plant, seed index, seed yield, straw yield and harvest index (%) comparison with simple seed drill sowing machine.
