Development and Performance Evaluation of Manually Operated Multipurpose Farm Tool
Agricultural practices require various implements. The implements are manually operated as well as tractor operated. Many of these implements are inconvenient for small farmers (upto 1 2 ha) to use in their filed. The manual methods are also time consuming, labour consuming. So there is need to develop a tool which will be useful for the small formers and one can perform the various operations. So a tool was developed to overcome these problems named "Manually operated multipurpose farm tool" As the name it is operated manually, and perform various operations. Manual method of seed planting, results in low seed placement, spacing, efficiencies and serious drudgeries for the farmer. The weeding operations when done by traditional methods it causes non uniformity, time consuming and drudgeries to human body. Peasant farmers can do much to increase food production especially grains, if drudgery can be reduced or totally removed from their farming operations. To achieve the best performance, the above limits needs to be optimized by developing proper designed tool which can perform several operations and selection of the components required on the machine to suit the need of operations.

2Assistant professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Annamalai University, Tamilnadu, India (On Deputation) 1Lecturer (Part time/Guest Lecturer) Department of Mechanical Engineering, Central Polytechnic College, Tharamani, Chennai 113, Tamilnadu, India Abstract This article addresses betterment in agricultural processes. Manually operated seed sowing machine consist of mechanisms for sowing of the seed. This mechanism runs simultaneously. The essential objective of sowing operation is to put the seed in desired depth and provide required spacing between the seeds and cover the seeds with soil. We can achieve optimum yield by proper compaction over the seed and recommended row spacing. To meet the demands farmer have to use new techniques in cropping to increase the yield. The requirements of small scale sowing machines are, they should be simple in design, affordable for small scale peasant farmers, easy maintenance for effective handling by unskilled farmers. In this project the attempt has been made for reduction in cost of machine and developing the multifunctional sowing machine which can perform simultaneous operations.

Fabrication of Multipurpose Agriculture Machine
India stand second in worldwide in farming sector agriculture product plays very importance role. Approximately 36% world engaged in agriculture with India's 70% population being directly and indirectly depend on this sector. If we observed that with increased the population. The farm get distributed among the family. So now they have only 2 acre farm in economically farmer. So they are not able to purchased costly equipment. Basically many farmer in India's also used manual labors and working animal for farming operation. Therefore for the development of agriculture new technology have to be made for working in this field. So we are thinking that human and animal effort can be replace advance mechanization.

Development of Manually Operated Single Row Oil Seed Drill
Introduction In India total area under cultivation is 329 million hectares, Where most of the farmers having small and marginal land holdings. The most challenge and most pressing need for the professional agricultural engineers is to identify appropriate mechanization needs of different size of land holdings located in different agro climatic regions and socio economics strata of the country. It is misconceived that benefits of mechanization could be reaped only by farmers having large acreage (Ananymous, 2008) Equipments for tillage, sowing, irrigation, plant protection and threshing have widely been accepted by them. Even farmers with small holdings utilize selected improved farm equipment through custom hiring to increase productivity and reduce cost of production. Mustard (Brassica sp. is a well known condiment and an important oil seed crop of the family Cruciferae. The plant is also used as a vegetable, fodder and medicine. Seed production can be done in Rabi (from September and October) in plains and in hills during kharif (June July) (Ananymous, 2009) Next to food grains in terms of hectare, production and value, oilseeds play a vital role. India accounts for about 13 per cent of world's oilseed area, 7 per cent of world's oilseeds output and 10per cent of world's edible oils consumption (Jha et al. 2012) Manual sowing has the problem of not giving adequate spacing between row to row and Sowing of seeds with seed drill at proper seed rate, depth and covering them with soil is very important. This allows plants to get sufficient sunlight and nutrients from the soil and also saves them from being eaten by birds or being dried up due to exposure to sun. Meanwhile it ensures improved ratio of crop yield with saving in time and labour. Small land holding in Indian farms limits farm mechanization on Indian farms. Conventional methods of seeding will results in low seed placements, less area covered per unit time, physical health issue like back ache etc. Keeping all in view a manually operated seed drill for mustard seeds was developed specially for small and marginal farmers with 1 1.5 kg seed box capacity and seed drill weight of 9 10 kg. The developed seed drill is useful for the small and marginal farmers who cannot afford heavy machinery.

Development of multipurpose agricultural machine
Abstract Agriculture is the strength of India. Wheat and Paddy are the new focuses in farming where still, relatively few scientists and makers take an interest. This field faces a few issues, for example, how to boost the benefit, how to build efficiency and how to diminish the expense. In India, two sorts of horticultural gear are utilized, manual strategy (ordinary technique) and motorized sort. Automation includes the utilization of a gadget between the work and power source. Hybrid devices are used to transfer the motions like linear to rotary or rotary to linear. Gives plentiful of mechanical preferences, for example, increment or decreasing or influence of speed. Horticultural apparatus is hardware utilized in cultivating or other farming. However, the continuous joining of machines since the Industrial Revolution has permitted cultivating to turn out to be significantly less work serious. Be that as it may, it likewise spares energy and materials and to improve the quality, exactness, and accuracy. The seed taking care of, pesticides sprinkling and yield cutting are the significant stages in the cultivation field. The plan of multipurpose agro gear machine will help formers to reduce the expense of seed taking care of, pesticides sprinkling and harvest cutting the field and will assist with expanding financial norm.
