The utmost importance is being given for agriculture sector due to increasing trend of food demand. Farmers need to use effective forming techniques and equipment to improve their efficiency in order to meet our global demand. The techniques and equipment employed by the farmers should not affect the quality and characteristics of the soil. An important phase of agriculture activities is seeding operation, which is time consuming, and labor intense activity.
The feed rate of seeding operation needs special attention as it directly influences the total time required for the operation. Availability of labor and labor cost are considered as other elements to be taken care in order to carry out seeding operation economically.
Hence, it is the need of the hour to design an equipment to reduce the seeding time and to improve efficiency of seeding process. The equipment should also address the issue of labor requirement.The problem is focused on small-scale farm equipment, which can be used to sow the seeds like corn, peanut, cotton etc.
This will reduce the effort, labor cost and time of the farmer.The existing machineries are being used in dry soil seeding process. These machines cannot effectively carry out the operation in the wet soil (high moisture) agriculture (for Eg: corn, chickpeas, cotton) soil for seeding operation.
The equipment can be used for the range of sizes of seeds with adjustable seeding distances. This equipment is intended also to sow the seeds in two rows at a time. The intended benefit of the proposed equipment will be small-scale farmers Funded Product Category NewGen IEDC Funder 2019-2020
