DESIGN & FABRICATION OF THE SOLAR POWERED MULTIPURPOSE AGRICULTURE MACHINE

Mechanical Engineering

Agriculture being one of the major occupations in India, Agriculture plays a vital role in the Indian economy. Indian agriculture has registered impressive growth over last few decades. It is very essential to discover and implement new idea in this field, though lot of work has been done in this area. It is unfortunate that, these ideas are not being implemented properly in actual field. This is due to high cost and is complicated for rural people. Multipurpose agriculture or farming machine is basic and major machine involved in agriculture for maximum yielding. The Conventional method of weeding, watering, pesticide spraying and cutting is a laborious process and hence for that reason there is a scarcity of labors and basically, many farmers in India also use bullocks, horses and buffalo for farming operation. This will not satisfy need of energy requirement of the farming as compared to other countries in the world. This result in delayed agriculture crop production practices to overcome these difficulties, we are thinking that human and animal efforts can be replaced by some advance mechanism which will be suitable for small scale farmer from economical and effort point of view. So, we are developing this machine which will satisfy all this need and to solve labor problem. A solar powered multipurpose agricultural machine is designed for weeding, watering, pesticide spraying and cutting purpose. The special vehicle field is gradually increasing its productivity in agriculture field. Some of the major problems in the Indian agricultural are rising of input costs, availability of skilled labor, lack of water resources and crop monitoring. To overcome these problems, the automation technologies were used in agriculture. The automation in the agriculture could help farmers to reduce their efforts.
