The Manual Maize Planter is a simple and effective tool for planting maize seeds in a field. It is designed to be pushed by hand and has a number of seed cups that can be adjusted to control the distance between the seeds i.e. the spacing. As the planter is pushed along the ground, the seed cups drop the seeds into the soil at a predetermined spacing and depth. Manual maize planters are typically used by small-scale farmers who do not have access to larger, more expensive planting equipment. They are easy to operate, require minimal maintenance, and are relatively inexpensive to purchase. The use of a hand-push maize planter can help to increase efficiency and productivity during the planting season, leading to higher yields and better profits for farmers.
It can also be called Agricultural hand-push planter, corn seeder, Maize planter, corn planter, or Maize seeder
