Planting of gladiolus is traditionally performed by manual labour which is very arduous. Till date no planter has been developed for mechanizing this permeation. With this aim, a prototype gladiolus planter was developed with cell in belt types metering unit, the performance of the metering unit was evaluated in -situ condition with three; levels of forward speed (1, 1.5 and 2 km/h) and three levels of nominal corm spacing (15, 20 and 25 cm). The test result indicated that the metering unit was able to deliver the some at sensors spacing but with an overall deviation of 15.08 per cent. The co-efficient of uniformity was found higher for 2km/h speed and 25 cm corm to deviation of 15.8 per cent. The co-efficient of uniformity was of und higher for 2km/h speed and 25 cm corm to corm spacing, the miss index was found less for wider spacing and higher speed of operation. Similarly, the quality feed index was found higher for wider nominal spacing and higher for wider nominal spacing and higher forward speed, however, the multiple index was found zero for all the treatment combinations. The overall performance was found better for 2 km/h forward speed.Keywords

Gladiolus is also known as “queen of the flowers” is an important cash horticultural crop. Generally it is planted manually which is very tedious, time consuming and labor intensive operation. So far, there is no planter available for planting of gladiolus corms. With a view of mechanize the planting operation of this horticultural crop,atractor one of the popular bulbous ornamental plants. Traditionally the gladiolus corm are planted manually which is very high tedious, time consuming and labour intensive operation. A single row tractor operated prototype planter was developed to improve planting efficiency and reduce drudgery involved in manual planting method and its performance was evaluated in actual field condition. The three levels were selected for corm spacing viz., 15, 20 and 25 cm and three for forward speed viz., 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 km/h were taken as performance parameter for the developed prototype planter. The indicator namely missing index, multiple index, mechanical damage, corm spacing per meter length and properties of gladiolus corms etc. determined during the test.Keywords
