It is applied as a light weight tractor implement designed for small farm sizes that combines tilling and planting. It saves water, fertilizer and reduces labor necessary for crop production. It can be used for producing wheat, rice, faba beans, corn, cotton, vegetables and other fully irrigated crops.
