Agriculture productivity, weed control, solar energy, efficient work output.Abstract
Agriculture plays a vital role in Indian economy. The reason behind reduction in the productivity of agricultural is weeds. Weed removal is serious problem faced by the farmers that will reduce the farmer interest to continue cultivation. The main objective of this paper is to construct and develop a solar powered weeder to provide the best opportunities for cultivation. The working of this project is depends on the solar panel .This is motorized equipment driven by the solar energy which moves blades to cut the weeds by chain sprocket mechanism. The design is simple and easy to operate. This equipment is designed to minimise the human effort, to reduce the cost and provide the efficient work output. This weeder will fulfil the requirements of the marginal farmers.
