Master’s Thesis at the University of Basrah Investigates the Design and Fabrication of a Machine for Subsurface Application of Organic Fertilizer
A master’s thesis at the College of Agriculture, University of Basrah, investigated the design and fabrication of a machine for applying organic fertilizer beneath the soil surface using a screw conveyor, along with an evaluation of its field performance.
The thesis, presented by researcher Bashir Nayef Daham, aimed to fabricate a locally made machine for applying organic fertilizer using a screw conveyor and to evaluate its efficiency and performance under field conditions.
The study included testing the fabricated machine and evaluating its efficiency in distributing and placing fertilizer beneath the soil surface, contributing to improved fertilization operations while reducing the time and effort required.
The study recommended conducting further research to develop and fabricate specialized machines for the application of organic fertilizers, supporting modern agricultural practices and contributing to the development of the agricultural sector.
