Design And Development Of Automated Farm Weeding Machine

Mechanical Engineering

An engineer is always focused towards challenges of bringing ideas and concepts of life. Therefore, sophisticated machines and modern techniques have to be constantly developed and implemented for new products. At the same time, we should take care that there has been no compromise made with quality and accuracy. Agricultural area has been in the area of continuous research, and has made significant improvement in the recent period. Currently, standard cultivation removes weeds from the majority of the bed using sweeps, knives, coulters and blades. Typically a 4 inch wide band is left around the seed line. Weeds in the uncultivated band are typically removed by hand, and the density of weeds that occur there, determines how laborious and costly subsequent hand weeding will be. Automatic weeding machine is project used to remove unwanted plants/weeds, which grows around the crops. Technology will continue to develop and improve in the coming years. These technologies do not entirely replace the need for hand labour, but they can make subsequent hand weeding operations less costly and more efficient. So we are going to make a prototype which removes these unwanted plants more efficiently and at a considerable less cost. We have made a machine which removes weed from inline and around the plants.
