Ludhiana, August 10

Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, has entered into an agreement with M/s Indo Tech Agro Works, Jiwan Arain vilage, Ferozepur, for commercialisation of ‘PAU Super SMS’ technology. Dr Navtej Singh Bains, Director of Research, PAU, and representative of M/s Indo Tech Agro Works signed the MoA on behalf of their respective organisations. 

Dr Manjeet Singh, Head, Department of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, said the ‘PAU Super SMS’ is a unique attachment for combine harvesters which cuts, chops and uniformly spreads loose straw coming out of the harvester during harvesting of paddy. 

The machine will facilitate the operations of other in situ straw management machinery like happy seeder, spatial no till drill mould board plough etc, which will ultimately stop the burning of paddy straw and help farmers enhance soil productivity with in situ paddy straw management.
