Not AvailableThe objectives of sowing operation are to put the seed along with fertilizer in rows at desired depth and seed to seed spacing, cover the seeds with soil and provide proper compaction over the seed. The machinery such as seed cum fertilizer drill with attachment of furrow irrigated raised bed (FIRB), broad bed furrow (BBF) and ridge & furrow systems are used to sow the seeds on raised beds in a pulverized soil so as to allow easy emergence of seed with proper moisture availability and better drainage during excess rainfall events. Several researchers have studied the effect of seed cum fertilizer drill with attachment of Furrow Irrigated Raised Bed (FIRB), Broad Bed Furrow (BBF) and Ridge & Furrow systems on water sensitive crop soybean. The present paper reviewed such studies to conclude the better sowing method on the growth and yield of soybean crop in vertisols of India.Not Availabl
