N2  - Field experiments were carried out to develop a multi-purposes machine for secondary tillage, fertilizing and planting some medicinal and aromatic plants; fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) and caraway (Carum carvi L.). The combination machine peiformance was evaluated comparing with the traditional method as a function of change in forward speed (2.1, 3.6, 4.5 and 6.3 kmlh), in terms of soil physical properties, seed scattering, emergence ratio, yield, power, energy and cost requirements. The experimental results revealed that soil physical properties, seed scattering, emergence, energy requirements and operational cost were in the optimum region under the following recommended conditions
