Field performance of reaper-binder was assessed in rice crop and compared with manual method of harvesting by sickle at farmer's field under farm implements and machinery scheme during Rabi 2013. The effective field capacity of the reaper-binder was found 0.294ha h-1 with a field efficiency of 67 per cent at an average operating speed of 3.6 kmph compared to 0.025 ha h-1 for manual harvesting. The fuel consumption was found 5.27 l ha-1. Labour requirements for mechanical and manual harvesting were 36 and 176 man-h ha-1, respectively. The harvesting losses for mechanical and manual harvesting were 1.44 and 1.88 per cent, respectively. The cost of harvesting operation was Rs.5500/ha for manual harvesting and Rs.2241/ha for mechanical harvesting. The harvesting cost of reaper binder was reduced by 40.74 per cent compared to manual harvesting method with sickle. The feedback of machine operation was collected by some farmer's at the time of harvesting and the performance of the reaper-binder at the farm was satisfactory.Keywords

The effect of pretreatments on puffing of finger millet, bengal gram and maize were studied. The grains were pre - treated with water and citric acid solution (1% concentration). The puffed grains were evaluated for puffing yield, bulk density and angle of repose. All these three parameters of the puffed grains pre-treated with water. The yield (%) of corn varied to an higher extent for about 16 per cent for puffed grains pre-treated with water than pre-treated citric acid. There was almost no effect of pre-treatments of bengal gram on the puffing of grains. The bulk density of citric acid pre-treated corn was found to be 0.659 g/cc that is less than bulk density of water pre-treated corn puffed corn. The angle of repose of bengal gram that is pre-treated with water was 32.43° and that of citric acid pre-treated was found to be 31.51°. The sensory evaluation of the chapatti was made with blend of the three flours of puffed finger millet, bengal gram and maize with wheat in different proportions. The chapatti made from the blend of wheat 80 per cent maize 10 per cent finger millet 5 per cent and bengal gram 5 per cent has good overall acceptability of 8.34 on ten point hedonic scale by sensory evaluation.Keywords
