Without a single exception the scientists call it a failure... some hesitantly say that its bcoz of labour problem Now what? Improving soil fertility and health: Farmers using weeder machine refrain from using harmful chemical herbicides. Hence the harmful effects of herbicides on environment can be avoided. Previously during hand weeding under traditional method of paddy cultivation the farmers use to throw away the weeds out of the agricultural land. But now with the help of weeders they are mixing the weeds into the soil which is decomposing into rich organic manure. With every weeding the soil is being loosened and aerated. It provides a favourable environment for the beneficial aerobic microbes and bacteria to multiply which in turn helps in improving the soil health. Hence with the help of weeder machines the unwanted weeds are now being used as a valuable organic input for agriculture.
