 ABSTRACT
 Sowing machine should be suitable to all farms, all types
of corps, robust construction, also is should be reliable, this is
basic requirement of sowing machine.
 Thus we made sowing machine which is operated
manually as a vehicle 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
and also its adjusting and maintenance method also simplified.

Keywords :Seed, Sowing, Planting, agriculture, efficiency

 INTRODUCTION
 The agriculture is the backbone of India. And for sustainable growth of
India development of agriculture plays vital role. The India has huge
population and day by day it is growing thus demand of food is also
increasing.
 In agriculture we saw various machines. Also there traditional methods
are there. Since long ago in India traditional method is used. Also India has
huge man power. This manual planting is popular in villages of india.
 But for large scale this method is very troublesome. The farmer has to
spend his more time in planting. But time available is less for him. Thus it
requires more man power to complete the task within stipulated time which is
costlier.
 Also more wastage happens during manual planting. Hence there is need
of developing such a machine which will help the farmer to reduce his efforts
while planting.
 LITERATURE SURVEY
Mahesh R. Pundkar and A. K. Mahalle
They presented review provides brief information about the various types
of innovations done in seed sowing machine available for plantation. The seed
sowing machine is a key component of agriculture field. The performance of
seed sowing device has a remarkable influence on the cost and yield of
agriculture products. Presently there are many approaches to detect the
performance of seed-sowing device
 Laukik P. Raut and et. al.,
They meet the food requirements of the growing population and rapid
industrialization, modernization of agriculture is inescapable. Mechanization
enables the conservation of inputs through precision in metering ensuring
better distribution, reducing quantity needed for better response and
prevention of losses or wastage of inputs applied. Mechanization reduces the
unit cost of production through higher productivity and input conservation.
Contd..
D. Ramesh and H. P. Girish Kumar
They presented review provide brief information about the various types of
innovations done in seed sowing equipment. The basic objective of sowing
operation is to put the seed and seed in rows at desired depth and seed to seed
spacing, cover the seeds with soil and provide proper compaction over the seed.
The recommended row to row spacing, seed rate, seed to seed spacing and
depth of seed placement vary from crop to crop and for different agro-climatic
conditions to achieve optimum yields. Seed sowing devices play a wide role in
the agriculture field.

Pranil V. Sawalakhe and et. al.,

They are investigated the 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. This Paper deals with the
various sowing methods used in India for seed sowing and seed placement.

CAD MODEL OF SEED SOWING
VEHICLE
 WORKING PRINCIPLE
This planter is very simple to use hence, unskilled
farmer is also able to handle this Vehicle. We simplified
the design also made it cheaper and affordable to every
rural farmer.
In these vehicle the hopper is located at the top of the
vehicle it contains seeds and fertilizers. The seed
distributor is located at inside the hopper with driving
shaft.
Put the seeds and fertilizer in the hopper as per its
capacity.
After seed can be poured in hopper the engine can start
to move the vehicle.
 Contd…
At the same time the power can be transmit to the seed
distributor from rear wheel through chain and sprocket
mechanism
The seed distributor is distribute the seed one at the same
time through seed delivery tube
The furrow openers open the soil at required depth
The seed is dropped into the soil The seeds and fertilizers
will get placed in the furrows through the delivery pipes.
The furrow closer is collect soil and cover the land after
seed will be drop.
In this way seed sowing is done with this vehicle.

 ADVANTAGE
Improved efficiency in planting.
Increased speed of seed planting.
 Seed planting accuracy is more
 Since seed can be poured at any required depth,
the plant germination is improved.
 Dependency on labor also decreased. Also it
saves time of sowing.
 Uniform placement of seeds in row with
required distance.
 Proper compaction over the seeds is provided.
 APPLICATION
It is used to sowing the groundnut seed in
agriculture land
It is used to sowing the corn.
 It is used to planting the different size of
seeds.
 CONCLUSION
The system is beneficial to the farmers for the basic seed
sowing operation.
The mode of operation of this vehicle is very simple.
The wastage of seeds can be reduced by the use of this
system.
Creation of gap due to non germination of seeds can be
avoided.
Labour problem can be reduced.
As compared to the manual and tractor based sowing time,
energy required for this is less .
So this system will be a better option for the farmers who
want to perform the seed sowing operation in a well-organized
manner.
