Design of Solar Powered Seed Sowing Machine

Sowing is the most important process in farming. It is a very tiring and time consuming process that requires a lot of human effort. In the farming process, often used conventional seeding operation takes more time and more labor. The seed feed rate is more but the time required for the total operation is more and the total cost is increased due to labor, hiring of equipment. The conventional seed sowing machine is less efficient, time consuming. Today’s era is marching towards the rapid growth of all sectors including the agricultural sector. To meet the future food demands, the farmers have to implement the new techniques which will not affect the soil texture but will increase the overall crop production. In this paper efforts are taken to design of solar powered seed sowing machine which introduces a control mechanism to drop the seeds at a particular position with specified distance between two seeds and lines while sowing. It will automatically close the seeds after sowing. This technology in the farming system reduces the manual efforts of farmers, saves time, energy and labor cost.
