Multi Purpose Robotic Agricultural Vehicle

The document describes the design and manufacturing of a solar powered seed sprayer machine. The machine uses a solar panel as a power source to run a fan or blower that sprays seeds directly onto the land from a hopper, eliminating the need for human labor during sowing. It is intended to reduce the time and effort required for seeding. The machine employs a microcontroller to control the fan and includes components like DC motors and an RF transmitter and receiver to operate automatically. It is presented as a low-cost alternative to existing sowing machines suitable for small farmers.

Design and manufacturing of solar power seed sprayer

machine

Abstract:

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 project, an attempt has been made for the “Design of solar seed
sprayer machine with Roller”. In this technique seeds in a hopper get sprayed by means
of fan or blower directly to land without human effort. By this process the seed is feed to
land at the time of plough .The main benefit of using this method is to reduce the time of
seed to the land and reduced human effort. Usually the manpower is needed for sowing a
seeds by using this machine there is no need for human power. This system does not
require any additional power source to run the fan, because here solar panel is employed
as a power source.

INTRODUCTION

Agriculture has been the backbone of the Indian economy and it will continue to remain
so for a long time. The government of India appointed a commission to assess the
feasibility of increasing the crop productivity under prevailing Indian ecological
conditions. In order to develop the standard of living of small farmers we should make
the machines with low cost. Then only small farmers can implement the recent modern
machines for farming purposes. The basic objective of sowing operation is to put the
seed and fertilizer in rows at desired depth and spacing, cover the seeds with soil and
provide proper compaction over the seed. The recommended row to row spacing, seed
rate, seed to seed spacing and depth of seed placement vary from crop to crop and for
different agricultural and climatic conditions to achieve optimum yields and an efficient
sowing machine should attempt to fulfill these requirements. In addition, saving in cost

of operation time, labor and energy are other advantages to be derived from use of
improved machinery for such operations. A traditional method of seed sowing has many
disadvantages. Our proposed “Solar seed sprayer machine” is used to sowing seed
easily. In this project an attempt has been made to provide the low cost sowing machine
and also it reduces the human effort.

Design of solar seed sprayer machine with Roller”. In this technique seeds in a hopper get
sprayed by means of fan or blower directly to land without human effort. By this process
the seed is feed to land at the time of plough .The main benefit of using this method is to
reduce the time of seed to the land and reduced human effort. Usually the manpower is
needed for sowing a seeds by using this machine there is no need for human power. This
system does not require any additional power source to run the fan, because here solar
panel is employed as a power source.

Merits Proposed Solar Seed Sprayer Machine:


 It is simple in operation.
 Maintenance cost is low.
 No seed loss in terms of remaining in the hopper.
 Low cost.
 It is more suitable for small farmers.
 Reduced size and complexity when compared to existing machine.
 No Power needed.
 Human power is not necessary.

CONCLUSION
A solar seed sprayer machine is designed for small farmers to improve their productivity.
In this machine a common seed storage place is introduced to reduce the cost of the

machine. The drawbacks in the existing sowing machine are rectified successfully in our
machine. It will be more useful for small farmers and the agricultural society. Thus solar
operated automatic seed sowing machine will help the farmers of those remote areas of
country where fuel is not available easily. And also they can perform their regular
cultivation activity as well as saves fuel up to larger extent. At the same time by using
solar energy environment pollution can also be reduced. Thus aiming to save the revenue
of government & also most demanded fossil fuel. By using this innovative project of seed
sowing equipment we can save more time required for sowing process and also it reduces
lot of laborer cost. It is very helpful for small scale farmers.
