Automated seed sowing machine: A review

Abstract

In the farming process, often used conventional seeding operation takes more time and more labor. The seed feed rate is more but the time required for the total operation is more and the total cost is increased due to labor, hiring of equipment. The conventional seed sowing machine is less efficient, time consuming. Today's era is marching towards the rapid growth of all sectors including the agricultural sector. To meet the future food demands, the farmers have to implement the new techniques which will not affect the soil texture but will increase the overall crop production. In the farming process, often used conventional seeding operation takes more time and more labor. The seed feed rate is more but the time required for the total operation is also more and the total cost is increased due to labor, hiring of equipment. This machine reduces the efforts and total cost of sowing the seeds and fertilizer placement. Sowing machine should be suitable to all farms, all types of corps, robust construction, also it should be reliable, this is basic requirement of sowing machine. Thus we made sowing machine which is operated manually but reduces the efforts of farmers thus increasing the efficiency of planting also reduces the problem encountered in manual planting. For this machine we can plant different types and different sizes of seeds also we can vary the space between two seeds while planting. This also increased the planting efficiency and accuracy. We made it from raw materials thus it was so cheap and very usable for small scale farmers. For effective handling of the machine by any farmer or by any untrained worker we simplified its design. Also its adjusting and maintenance method also simplified.
