“…The aim of the project is to develop a harvester for turmeric which will not damage the rhizome of the turmeric stem. This harvesting machine will simply the efforts of human beings and also reduces the harvesting cost and harvesting time [2], [8], [9]. The size of the harvesting machine is reduced to make it convenient.…”

Turmeric is a very important spice in India, which produces nearly the world’s crop and uses 80% of it. Harvesting is the process of gathering ripened crops from the field. The general practice of harvesting is to dig out the rhizome manually with the help of hand tools. This type of harvesting causes damage to rhizomes. It is a difficult task for the farmers to get the required labor force during the harvesting season. Delay in the harvesting process results loss in the yield and also the quality of rhizomes is affected adversely. So, it is necessitate the need to develop a suitable mechanical harvester for turmeric, which helps farmer to harvest turmeric with minimum losses within a specific time by reducing the human effort as compared to manual effort. This machine consists of digging blade, wheel, motor and blade driving unit. The machine starts moving as soon as the device is powered up. This harvesting technique leads to the development of mini tractor in order to reduce the efforts of human beings and also it increases the digging efficiency.

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">In India, agriculture is a vital part of the country’s economy and almost everything depends on it. It takes a lot of time and effort for the farmer to remove the leftover root vegetables and crops in soil. Even after manually removing these crops, they can’t fully recover the leftover thing. This process takes more time and is challenging for the farmer. Due to human error, around 20-30% of the crops and root crops are left out in the field. Unfortunately, poor farmers can’t afford the necessary equipment to remove these crops. Generally, Root crops are cultivated by root crop harvester through diggers present under the chassis in the middle which are seen randomly by operators and cultivated or else through cameras which are highly cost and not affordable by all the farmers, hard to maintain and not technically strong by the farmers to operate the cameras.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">Hence, it is aimed to design a Plough machine to take the left over root crops in the field as well as to loosen/break up the soil simultaneously which will be mounted on the tractor or dragged by the tractor.</div></div>
