According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In this paper, the design and development of battery-operated cultivator cum seeder machine is described. It is an intelligent agricultural equipment that seeks to integrate the processes of soil cultivation and seed sowing into a single process with the help of minimum labor, thus minimizing time as well as costs without generating any pollution. The machine is made of tubular steel that offers rigidity along with light weight that helps in easy handling and operation on small scale farms. This is accomplished by the four pneumatic wheels powered by an electric motor which transmits mechanical power from a battery to the cultivator cum seeder machine with the help of chain and sprocket mechanism. The cultivator component of the machine helps in turning the soil before seed sowing, whereas, the seed compartment holds multiple compartment that help in simultaneous sowing of seeds. This system operates on an entirely rechargeable battery pack, rendering it independent of fossil fuels while drastically cutting operational expenses. It uses a highly precise handlebar steering system that allows easy navigation through various terrains, making it easy to use by a single operator without requiring any more personnel. It has been specifically designed to be ideal for row crops in farm-lands, where other larger machinery becomes expensive. This machine serves as a response to some significant issues encountered in sustainable agriculture. As an affordable and environmentally friendly alternative to existing machinery driven by traditional fuels, it can be a great option to revolutionize sustainable farming. This machinery utilizes a seed metering system, which guarantees optimal seed dispersion, ensuring the highest germination rates while reducing wastage.
