Abstract

In tribal region of Gujarat women are the integral part of the farming system. They transform mostly all kinds of work. Manual seed sowing consumes much energy as well as time. For maintaining uniformity in planting seed to seed distance should be accurate. Most existing manual seed sowing devices don’t have this facility. To provide a better option, a multi-crop planter was developed with electric metering at College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Godhra for woman farmer in tribal region of Gujarat. Multi-crop planter consists of main frame, handle, furrow opener, seed tube, marker, metering mechanism, DC battery (12V), DC motor, DC speed regulator, switch and DC charger. The payback period of developed machine was found as 53.42 hours on hour basis and 6 ha on hectare basis. The benefit cost ratio of the developed multi-crop planter was found as 14.97 over a period of 10 years of the life of the multi-crop planter.
