Introduction
• Sowing is the most important process in farming.
• It is a very tiring and time consuming process that requires a lot of human effort.
• The growth or development of any nation in the world is purely depends up on
the agriculture production.
• Traditional methods of sowing seeds manually consume lot of time and also it
may not be accurate because of human errors.
• Maintaining uniformity in seed planting can increase the sowing efficiency, there
by to over come all these problems, these days former’s are using automatic
sowing machines.
• The Automatic Sowing Machine designed here is quite useful for the large
cultivated areas, when compared with man power many acres can be planted
with seeds within less time
Aim / Objectives
• Aim: The overall aim is to put the seeds in a row at the desired depth
and spacing, cover the seeds with soil and provide proper compaction
over the seed.
• Objectives:
1. Sowing seeds with proper distance and depth
2. Reduce Time
3. Reduce Work done

Advantages / Disadvantages

• Sowing seed with proper depth

• Appropriate distance with proper compaction can be done.
• Less human labor than traditional way.
• Reduce time of work.
• Reduce work done.
Expected Outcomes
• We have to enter the length of the field and press the button of start.
• The plough will plough the land which is near to the seed dropper.
• The robot will go in forward direction and it will drop the seeds at a certain
distance.
• The soil cover of the robot will cover the seed with the soil.
• After the certain length as we have entered the robot will take turn and will
return back with doing same action.
• The robot will tell about the moisture in soil, temperature and humidity in sensor.
