Introduced: September 1968

Description

Subclass A01C covers machinery, devices, and methods for planting seeds, sowing crops, and applying fertilizers to soil. This includes mechanical seeders, planters, drills, transplanters, and equipment for distributing fertilizers, manure, or soil amendments. Technologies for precision agriculture, seed spacing control, and depth adjustment mechanisms fall within this scope, as do implements drawn by animals or tractors for large-scale agricultural operations. Related classification A01B addresses primary soil preparation (ploughing, tilling), while A01D covers harvesting and post-harvest processing.
