“Development And Fabrication Of Manual Rice Transplanting Machine”

Abstract

Agriculture is most important sector of the Indian economy. It is most important source of employment for the majority of the work force in the country. Rice is primary and major crop cultivated in India. As the large workforce is engaged in this sector, Traditional method is costly, time consuming and labour intensive work. To make the transplanter system several attempt has been made to design and fabricate this machine. This study is focused on design analysis and fabrication of a manually operated rice transplanter for small scale Indian rice cultivators. By achieving the goals like simplifying the mechanism, reduce cost and reduced weight of present rice transplanter. The availability and use of manual rice transplanter in Western Maharashtra is very rare, so design of this project is useful to farmers.
