A study has been carried out to develop a multipurpose pipe frame implement for tillage, sowing, interculture and digging operations in sandy loam deep soils of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic Zone-III. During the field testing, cost of cultivation was Rs.2063.88/ha for local implements, while for the multipurpose implement it was Rs. 1471.17/ha. Thus multipurpose implement save, Rs.592.711ha in addition to time and 52. 19 % lower investment over traditional implement. The hourly cost of a pair of bullock was Rs.39.62.
