Abstract
A rotary power weeder was developed and evaluated. The weeder is to reduce drudgery and ensure a comfortable posture of the farmer or operator during weeding and increase production. The weeder’s component parts are: frame, rotary hoe (disk), tines, power and transmission unit. The results of field performance evaluation showed that the field capacity and weeding efficiency of the rotary power weeder were 0.0712 ha/hr and 73%. The cost of operation with this weeder was estimated to be N 2,700.00 as against N 12,000.00 by manual
