Design and Fabrication Of multipurpose Power Weeder

Abstract

In India Weed control in crops is major problem . Generally Indian farmer use traditional way for doing fieldwork that is weeding is done by bulls or workers with the help of khurpi. This method is useful but it is very demanding of labour. To overcome this problem we introducing an alternative solution that is “power weeder”. This power weeder will remove grass between two rows and also do the seed sowing operation. We will use rotary adjustment for doing weeding as well as cultivation which is power operated. With the help of this machine we are trying to reduce human efforts with less maintenance cost. Main benefit is reducing labour cost by reducing the number of labours with less time consumption. The same machine is also used for sowing .The approach of this project is to develop the machine to minimize the working cost and also to reduce the time for seed sowing operation by utilizing engine energy to run the machine.
