Large number of farmers thresh paddy crop manually or by trampling it under feet of animals. Now-a- day's number of progressive farmers are using pedal operated or hold on type threshers which does not have cleaning facility. For cleaning traditional methods such as natural draft of air or small fans are used but it involves drudgery, hence, performance of power operated paddy winnower was evaluated at three different feed rates which was 112, 127 and 138 kg/hr which was developed at CAET Dapoli. The highest cleaning efficiency of 99.3 per cent was found at feed rate of 127 kg/hr for main outlet. The highest output capacity of 117.02 kg/hr was found at feed rate of 138 kg/hr. The percentages of blown grain were 0.21, 0.22 and 0.27 for respective feed rates. The corrected output capacity was 94.64, 109.49 and 114.6 kg/hr for main outlet. The power consumption was in the range of 0.194-0.200 kWh. The cost of operation of power operated paddy winnower was Rs. 30.81/ hr.Keywords

This field experiment was conducted at Agronomy field, DBSKKV, Dapoli. Three different ages of nursery as 21, 28 and 35 DAS were taken for study. Plant and field parameters were measured during operation with manual paddy transplanter (hand cranked). The 21 (DAS) nursery required less time (25 min) for upischolar_maining and preparing ischolar_main washed seedlings from area of 1 m2 as compared to that of for 28 (DAS) (35 min) and 35 (DAS) (42 min) nursery. Missing of hills were also less in 21 (DAS) nursery. The field capacity with existing manual paddy transplanter (hand cranking) was 0.020 ha/h for 21 (DAS) nursery, whereas, for 28 and 35(DAS) nursery it was found 0.018 ha/h and 0.019 ha/h, respectively. Hence, 21 (DAS) nursery was found suitable for manual paddy transplanter (hand cranking).Keywords

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.) is an important tree spice which produces two different spices namely nutmeg and mace. The Konkan region is well regarded as fruit belt of Maharashtra. Presently, the method adopted for harvesting nutmeg in Konkan region is by manual means i.e. by hand picking, by shaking the tree branches or by using bamboo stick having a curved hook. It was, therefore, necessary to develop harvesting system with simple design, easy for operation, low cost but with higher working efficiency. In view of the present investigation was carried out at Department of Farm Machinery and Power, College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, DBSKKV, Dapoli. The developed nutmeg harvesting system consists of fruit harvester, telescopic pole, harvesting platform and fruit collecting basket. The performance of developed nutmeg harvesting system was evaluated in field and it’s harvesting capacity and damage fruit per cent was found to be 8.15 kg/h and 1.33 per cent, respectively and only one person was required for harvesting operation. The harvesting capacity and fruit damage per cent was found to be 4.37 kg/h and 10.92 per cent for hook method also 1.74 kg/h and 14.85 per cent for beating of fruits by bamboo stick method, respectively and two person were required for harvesting operation in traditional method. The cost of harvesting nutmeg with developed manual nutmeg harvesting system, hook method and beating of fruits by bamboo stick was found to be Rs./kg 5.93, 17.16 and 43.10, respectively. The developed nutmeg harvesting system proved to be superior, efficient and economical over traditional harvesting method.Keywords
