Abstract:

The main intention of this project is to provide and implementing electric & mechanical technology to obtain the maximum yield to farmers, and also to provide a costless operation than conventional type weeding process. It’s easy to operate in between the small crop rows . This Effective weeding mechanism has capable of uprooting, bury and cut weeds at different times. The working diameter of the weeding mechanism is suitable to operate within 30cm to 45cm crop rows. By implementing ‘C’ type rotor blades , It has good weeding efficiency, and less crop damage than comparing to other type blades.

Keywords:

electric weeder, working diameter, type of blade
