PROBLEM STATEMENT PSG College of Technology

• Weeding is necessary because weeds compete with main crop plant for the
different factors such as water, sunlight, nutrients and space and hence affect
plant growth.

• Periodic weeding activities are necessary and required labors.

• To prevent the usage of chemicals to remove weeds and preserve the soil
nutrients.

OBJECTIVES PSG College of Technology

• To design and develop a semi autonomous weeder which is to be remotely

monitored and controlled.
• To perform weeding operations in farmlands which have soft, medium
textured soil.
• To be operated remotely.
• Weeding function to be performed by a IC engine and Electrical motor for
locomotion.
