Comparison of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composite Blade with Steel Blade Performance Used in Chisel Plow

All over the world, farmers choose different implements for tillage, which depend on crop type, soil type, the amount of plant residue from the previous crop, etc. Tillage implement selection is also affected by the availability of implements, power consumption, labor costs, and fund. In this resear...
