The performance evaluation of a newly developed animal- drawn multi-crop dibble seeder, constructed at SV College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, IGKV, Raipur, involved a combination of laboratory calibration and field trials. Laboratory tests focused on seed discharge consistency, damagerate, and calibration accuracy, while field studies examined effective field capacity, seed placement depth, and plant population density. Field trials demonstrated a field capacity of 0.17 ha/h (84 % efficiency) for paddy and 0.27 ha/h (81 % efficiency) for okra at forward speeds of 2.4 and 2.8 km/h, respectively. The operational cost was Rs.675.02/ha. Results confirm the dibble seeder’s potential as a low- cost, efficient, and scalable solution for small farms, promoting mechanized sowing with minimal labor and high precision across multiple crops.
