Empowering Women Farmers: Designing and Developing Pull Type Electric Seeder | Chapter 3 | Emerging Issues in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 7

 Women are an essential component of the land system in Gujarat's ancestral region. They mainly convert all kinds of labor. Manual seeding demands a lot of work and time. Accurate calculation of the space 'tween the seeds should to achieve consistent establishiing. The majority of manual seeders common today lack this volume. In order to provide a better alternative, a multi-crop electric seeder was grown at the College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Godhra for women farmers in the ancestral region of Gujarat. The data processing machine, handle, furrow beginning, seed hose, marker, measure mechanism, battery (12V), engine and speed controller, switch, and DC plate are all parts of the multi-crop seeder. The designed supplies has a payback ending of 6 hectares per hectare and 53.42 hours per hour. Over a 10-period period of the seeder's lifetime, the cost-benefit percentage was found expected 14.97 for the created multi-crop seeder.
