IMPLEMENTATION OF A USER FRIENDLY ELECTRO-MECHANICAL CONOWEEDER FOR AGRICULTURAL APPLICATION

Abstract -- In today’s world everything is getting modernized. Agriculture fields are slowly destroying, and these lands are used for some other purpose. This is because the income from agriculture is less although the work involved is high. Most of the field work is done manually and so the farmers depend on the field workers for doing it. Because of the higher pay offered in other sectors like construction, workers prefer those jobs and so agricultural sector

takes shortfall of manpower. This being the scenario, workers are not available for the works such as plucking out the unwanted grass and weeds growing in between the plants. It is very important to pluck out the grass and weeds to obtain fruitful results from the cultivation, as the grasses and weeds observe a part of nutrition given to the plants. Given the present situation, removing weeds becomes a costlier affair. To address this problem, this project proposes a simple, economical, and efficient machine to remove the weed, which would be operated by a single person – savings of labor as well as time.
