Abstract

A field experiment was conducted on manually weeding tool khurpi in the farm of college of technology and engineering (CTAE), Udaipur during the rabi season of 2015-16. Soil type of the experimental land was sandy loam. Bulk density, moisture content of soil at the time weeding operation was recorded using ?digital moisture meter?. Bulk density and moisture was recorded from each plot. Core sampler is used to measure bulk density. Cone index was recorded after the weeding operation using cone penetrometer. We use the average values for the results. Weeding efficiency was 94.8 per cent, plant damage percentage was 0.01 and field efficiency was 98.1 per cent of khurpi.
