Fabrication and Development of An Automated Seed Sowing Machine

Abstract

The contemporary world is advancing towards the rapid expansion of all industries, including agriculture. The agricultural industry is transforming the social and economic landscape of the people as a result of globalization. Agriculture is the most extensive economic sector demographically and significantly contributes to the entire socio-economic structure of India. In India, the majority of the population lives in rural areas and is reliant on agriculture, using outdated techniques (traditional methods). The traditional approach is less efficient and more time-consuming. To satisfy future food demand, farmers must adopt innovative techniques that preserve soil texture while enhancing crop productivity. To address the limitations of traditional methods, we are designing a seed sowing machine capable of executing many functions. The primary function of our equipment is to mechanize the processes of excavation and seed planting at appropriate intervals and depths. The usual sowing technique in agriculture often requires more time and work. The seed feed rate is higher; nevertheless, the total operational time is extended, resulting in greater overall costs owing to manpower and equipment rental. The traditional seed sowing machine is inefficient and time-consuming. This research examines the several sowing techniques used in India for seed dissemination and fertilizer application. A comparison between the conventional sowing technique and the newly suggested machine, which can execute many simultaneous operations and offers several benefits. As manpower availability increasingly concerns farmers and labor costs rise, this equipment minimizes the effort and overall expenses associated with seed planting and fertilizer application.
