Enhancing Rice Cultivation through Transplanting Machine

Abstract

Agriculture is the most important occupations in our country and one of the main reasons for stability of Indian Economy. Rice, Cotton, Wheat, Tea, etc are the major crops grown in India; of which Rice is the most cultivated crops among all and our country stands second position in the World in Rice production. In India, Rice is cultivated by traditional method using hands; whereas other regions use Semi-Automatic or Fully-Automatic machines to grow Rice. In the present paper, we have design a Semi-Automatic machine at a reasonable price to grow Rice at a much quicker speed and more proficiently. A Four-Bar Chain Mechanism is used as base for the design of the machine and will be operated by pedals. Again the movement of the machine has to be done by applying human effort, while crops will be cultivated automatically and hence, called Semi-Automatic Rice Cultivating Machine. The proposed design in this paper not only increase the rate of crop production, but will also reduce human labor effort compared to traditional method of cultivating rice by hands.
