Abstract

In the farming process, the often-used conventional seeding procedure takes plenty of time and more labor. The seed feed rate is added further as the time required for the total operation and the total cost is increased due to labor. To meet the future food demands, the farmers should implement the new techniques which will not affect the soil texture but will increase the overall crop production. The seed sowing methods used in India and fertilizer placement is being studied. A machine to perform the above-mentioned operations is proposed in this project work. The comparison between the traditional sowing method and the new proposed machine which can perform numerous simultaneous operations like ploughing using a shank, sowing, and spraying of water and pesticide is highlighted in this piece of work. The day by day labor availability becomes a great concern for the farmers as the labor cost is more. This proposed seed sowing machine reduces the efforts and overall cost of sowing the seeds.
