Lightweight device performs six types of field operations
Till a few years back a farmer's entire family used to work in the fields and he could manage the harvest. But today, unable to make a living from the rain dependent farms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many small-holders are in difficulty and moving into the already cramped towns and cities in search of work. At times, fields are left practically unattended, says Mr. Ajay Jakhar, Chairman, Bharat Krishak Samaj, New Delhi.
is akin to being caught between the devil and the deep sea for them. They cannot sell their lands as they are their only source of security,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and cannot make a net profit from their crops either, he adds.
Mr. Shamrao Parhate from Madhya Pradesh says, shortage problem literally forced me to develop a multipurpose agriculture machine that can do several operations. Different accessories can be attached to it for performing several operations, such as shallow ploughing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], interculturing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], weeding, sowing, residue collection,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], groundnut digging, and soybean harvesting.
With a little modification,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it turns into a sprayer as well.
0.27 hectare can be readied in an hour using this machine which is priced at Rs. 12,000, inclusive of attachments,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says the farmer, adding are many innovative features in Shivraj. When the lever is lifted, the collected material drops in a heap to be carried away or burnt, explains Mr. Parhate.
The seed drilling attachment consists of seed box, drilling unit, seed conveying PVC tubes and furrow openers.
The drilling unit derives its power from central shaft of driven wheels through a belt-and-pulley mechanism.
Plant-to-plant and row-to-row distance can also be adjusted.
Weeding and intercultural operations are done by fixing suitable blades according to the need of crop being handled,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
groundnut digging,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the blade enters four to five inches deep in the soil, cuts the roots allowing the pods to be retained along with the plant. For soybean harvesting, an attachment drops the cut crop to one side for manual collection,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], explains Mr. Parhate who is in the process of patenting the machine.
innovation comes at an ideal time when the country is hard hit in terms of sourcing manual labourers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
machine seems to be a good alternative to human labour, adds Mr. Ajay.
