Abstract

A method was generated to spread the fertilizer uniformly over a fallow land by dropping the fertilizer over the impeller disc. The system consists of a three wheels, two at the front and one at the back. These two wheels at the front are used to impel the fertilizer. The two hoppers are used to store the fertilizer; these hoppers are placed at some height from the wheel axle so that the fertilizer falls on to the impeller. The hopper is provided with flow control mechanism. In fertilization, the flow maintenance is necessary. Generally every crop should get sufficient amount of fertilizer. The fertilizer is spread using the centrifugal force. This high value of centrifugal force is generated with the help of proper gear reduction ratio and electric motor. The gears are coupled to the shaft of wheel and motor is connected to the battery. With this machine, possible percentage reduction in time required for Fertilization is 50% and reduction in labour cost as compared to conventional method is 80%. It has solved the problem of traditional way of Fertilization.
