 ABSTRACT

 India is the major producer of sugarcane in the world.

But Indian farmer lack state of art of technology to
maximize the productive and effective cultivation. In
conventional method of planting sugarcane takes more time
and labor intensive, to overcome this we developed a simple
sugarcane planting machine.

 Our planting machine contains hopper, motor and lever

mechanism to plant the sugarcane in furrows in a
disciplined manner. It’s having advantage of like simple
design, cost effective and simple to handle.

INTRODUCTION
India is one of the countries which have been producing
large quantity of agricultural products every year. But
India farmers lack state of art of technology to maximize
the productivity and effective cultivation

Sugarcane is feed the one of the highly cultivating crash-

crop, Sugar is needs of food progression requirement
effective cropping of sugarcane could minimize the price
of sugar & maximize the profit for the formers. In such a
way the focused one final project to develop a sugar
plantation machine

After testing small scale

field it is found that steams
can be cut at ground level.

 OBJECTIVES:
 Simple in design
 To increased the planting efficiency
 To reduced the planting time
 To reduced the cost of planting
 To reduced the labours
 Methodology
Dry method of planting should be followed.
Sets should be placed 5 to 7.5cm deep into
soil.
 Care should be taken to place eye buds on
side and covered with thin layer of soil and
then irrigation should be given to the field.
Design for sugarcane planting machine
WORKING:
The sugarcane sets are planted in the ground by using
the sugarcane filling wheel.
Fast of all the drilling wheel will be drill the ground
surface in 15 to 20cm, and some angle.
Then the filling wheel is filled with the sugarcane in
that holes.
Finally the back plate is used to cover the sugarcane
in the sand.
 In olden times
the sugarcane is
are planted only
on this method
but we are using
our planting
machine the
planting time
and the labors
are reduced
This is the one
type of sugar
cane planting
machine. But
we follow this
method
labors and
cost will be
more
CONCLUSIONS
The sugarcane planting machine consist of hopper,
bearing, and lever mechanism traditional method of
planting takes more time consumption and labor
intensive.

Insteadof that sugarcane planting machine is used to

reduce the labor and time consumption and also it is
possible for the uniform planting.

For phase-I, we have various literatures sugarcane

planting machine and its mechanism, now we also
designed the planting machine in modeling software.
Future work :
For phase II we planned to fabricate the sugarcane
planting machine. after fabrication, method study and
time study are going to carried to determine the
efficiency the sugarcane planting machine
