Single Pass Seedbed Preparation Attachment for Low Power Tractors- Literature Review

It is reported that 65% of Indian population is dependent upon the agriculture. Since the demand for different crops is increasing day by day with the increases in population. Due to the shortage of manpower and unpredictable weather conditions land remains attained from farming. The land preparation is the key process in farming activities. It includes cultivation, spreading of compost manure, mixing of crop residues from previous season and making it ready for next season. These three processes are carried out separately so it is time consuming and costly. This project is an attempt made to develop an agricultural engineering solution in the form of an attachment combining all three operations at a time. This will help in time saving and cost cutting. To carry out this project some literature is referred from various journals. This paper is a review of research work carried by various researchers in this area. The paper will give different considerations and calculations to proceed with the attachment unit. A primary solution to the problems presented in various research papers are proposed as a conclusion of this paper.
