Implementation of ECO Friendly Automatic Seed Sowing Machine

The state economy of Tamil Nadu is still dominated by the agricultural sector. A little over 60% of the population makes their living from agriculture and related professions. In order to increase the productivity and also to increase the income of the farmer, Technology based integrated agricultural management has to be evolved. To achieve this, it is proposed to design and implement ECO friendly Fully Automatic Agribot. This system is used to maximize the yield, minimize seed usage, better weed management, effective irrigation and to compensate the unavailability of agriculture manpower. This cost-effective method will increase the overall income of the farmer. This Agribot is Solar powered with battery backup to energize the DC motor to drive the system. There is a mechanism to plough the field. A seed sowing dispenser with sensor to indicate the available seed quantity in the drum. An arrangement to cover the seed with sand after sowing. When any obstacle comes in front of machine, the bot detects it using ultrasonic sensor. This ensures that the process of seed planting goes smoothly and without wasting any seeds or field space. The buzzer will sound when the bot reaches the end of the row. It may be modified for different crops, and maintaining it is very straightforward.
