Pusa seed cum fertilizer disc drill includes a novel planting machinery and it is a tractor drawn mounted equipment utilizing a single or double disc opener assemblies and a torsion spring joints for connection of the disc assembly to the frame. Disc assemblies are arranged alternately and spaced laterally from each other in two transverse rows supported for rotation about a horizontal axis offset at a acute angle from transverse direction for opening a furrow. Fertilizer and seed boot assemblies are located adjacent the rearward facing convex side of the disc and includes a toe and tee scrapers. The users may adjust the relative position of disc opener with respect to transport wheels by simply manipulating a lever. Fertilizers and seed are dropped into the open trench by fertilizer and seed distributing means operated by two transport wheels via pulleys, V- belts and over running clutches. The clutches compensates for wheel slippage. Fertilizer and seed distributing means can be any proprietary items. The drill unit can include one or more pivotable open center bevelled edge press wheels which can be mounted for pivotal movement about the rear frame and which can be laterally spaced for proper placement of soil into covering relation to the fertilizer and seed. Adjustable down pressure spring extending between press wheels hub and vertical frame allow the press wheel to maintain ground contact and down pressure even when opener blades encounter an obstacle thus improving germination of the seed. The torsion spring assemblies that are prone to develop permanent deflection if seed drill is stored for a period of time. Parking stand are provided to prevent such deformation.
