The manufactured dual purpose unit performance was studied as a function of change in machine forward speed(2.2, 2.8,3.4 and 4 Km/h) and fertilizing rates(30,45 and 60 Kg.Nfed-1).at average of soil moisture content 22 % .Dual purpose unit was evaluau;d in terms of effective field capacity, jield efficiency, fuel consumption ,power and energy requirements and. The experiment results reveled. "that the manufactured double acting unit decreased energy and increased effective field capacity and field efficiency with using machine forward speed 2.2Kmlh fertilizing rate45 Kg.Nfed- 1 , and soil moisture content was 22% d.b UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2015/MJAE/3215/1/105.pdf ER -
