FYM is applied by bullock cart or tractor trailer making the heaps in field and then spreading manually in randomized way which results in unevenness of the application. This operation requires labors and also uniformity is not maintained in this operation. To facilitate the efficient crop utilization of manure, spreading of it more uniformly across the field is advantageous. It is necessary that the quantified the rate of application during the operation and spread uniformly, covering the whole surface of the field. Therefore unit like tractor operated Farm Yard Manure spreader is desirable. In this project such a device will be developed which monitors the rate of FYM application either in the furrow or to make uniform spreading of it. Testing was earned in field for both manual and mechanical spreading operation. The speed of operation was 1.8 km/h for spreading operation. The fuel consumption observed a 2.11 l/h for spreading operation. The performance of FYM spreader was determined, by different parameters. The FYM application rate was 8750 kg/ha.
