Abstract

The aim of this research is to study the effect of some manual and mechanical planting methods on canola crop yield. Three manual as well as two mechanical methods of planting canola crop were conducted. Mechanical planting methods were carried out under four different forward speed. Manual and mechanical planting methods were evaluated in terms of field capacity and field efficiency, plant characteristics, crop yield, energy requirements and planting cost. The main results in this study can be summarized in the following points:
*The heihest yield (1580 kg/fed) was obtained by using pneumatic planter with row spacing of 40 cm, while lowest yield (924 kg/fed)was obtained by using manual broadcasting method.
*The heihest value of cost per feddan (300 L.E/fed)was obtained by using manual transplanting method, while the lowest value(14.8L.E./fed)was obtained by using seed-drill.
 It is recommended to use the pneumatic planter at a forward speed 4 km/h for planting canola crop to maximize crop yield and minimize planting cost.
