In this study, the optimum size of tractor and optimum field capacity requirements of implements for three different farms i.e., Agricultural Engineering Farm (AEF), Adhartal Farm (AF), and Dusty Acre Farm (DAF) of Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya Jabalpur was analyzed. Primary data were obtained through log book, history book and field survey of the university farms. Results showed that an optimum hp requirement for AEF was maximum (138.59hp). For DAF and AF it was 101.19 and 124.92 hp, respectively. The optimum field capacity of plough for all the three farm varied between 0.23 - 0.46 ha/h, cultivator was between 0.82 - 1.40 ha/h, disk harrow was between 0.90 - 1.52 ha/h and for seed drill was 1.00 - 2.01 ha/h when the labour cost varies between Rs. 100 - 180. For the selected farms the size of plough ranged between 2bottom-30cm to 4 bottom-35cm, the size of the cultivator and seed drill varied 9 - 19 tynes and for disk harrow between 8 - 16 disk.Keywords

The mechanical properties of sisal leaf (A.sisalana) relevant to leaf harvesting and fibre extraction were determined. Measurements of leaf bending resistance, friction coefficients and mass distribution were made to get information for designing of leaf handling equipment. The leaf cross- sectional area at 7 cm from butt-end was 11.65 cm2. Fibre content of leave varied from 3.0 - 4.0 % of fresh green leaf weight. The mean fibre bundle strength was 32.31 g/tex and fibre fineness was 4.92. The coefficient of friction of sisal leaf was lowest on mild steel surface for tilting panel test (0.054) as well as for horizontal test surface (0.464).Keywords

Survey conducted in two villages of Bastar District of Chhattisgarh revealed that the percentage share of average tractive power, stationary power and draught animal power is 4.64(0.027 kW/ ha), 37.33(0.07 kW/ha) and 76.7(0.34 kW/ha), respectively of cultivable area. Average farm power availability of the selected villages was found to be less than the national average i.e. 1.6 kW/ha. The villages have sufficient draught animals, indigenous implements and hand tools like indigenous plough, biasi plough, kopar, patela, pick-axe, crowbar, spade, wooden mallet etc. The study indicated a dire need of increasing the farm power availability and farm mechanization in this particular area to increase the productivity of landKeywords

Paddy is the principal crop and the central plains of Chhattisgarh are known as rice bowl of central India. It is a labour intensive crop and requires about 800 to 900 labour-hours for cultivating one hectare of land. Of different field operations, seeding through seed drills, transplanting, weeding through mechanical weeder and harvesting together consume major labour force and if these are managed timely and efficiently by the farmers, could earns good profit. An experiment was conducted at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kanker to assess the performance of machines used in cultivation of rice. Different machines were evaluated for particular operations. For mechanical transplanting a self propelled rice planter and paddy seeding under wet conditions an eight row paddy drum seeder were used. For weeding manually operated weeder and self propelled paddy reaper for harvesting of paddy were also evaluated. An eight row self propelled paddy transplanter was found to be very effective for timely transplanting in a large area. Its average field capacity was 0.192 ha/hr and cost of transplanting almost 61 per cent less compared to manual transplanting. Use of manually operated 8 row drum seeder tested was most effective for line sowing of sprouted paddy in puddled condition. It reduces the cost of cultivation by saving 58 per cent seed compared to farmers practice. On the other hand, weed efficiency was found maximum 83.87 per cent with Ambika paddy weeder. It was observed that the average cost of mechanical transplanting with an eight row self propelled rice transplanter 74.71 %, mechanical weeding with ambica paddy weeder was 51.15 per cent and mechanical harvesting with a self propelled vertical conveyer reaper was 59.76 per cent less as compared to manual transplanting, weeding and harvesting operations, respectively.Keywords

Kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L) is a stable food of some tribal’s of India especially in the states of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. Traditionally, de-husking was done by hand pounding using stone mortar and wooden pestle with metal ring on the tip or by the use of Kodo pearler. The performance was optimize and evaluated at different treatments of Kodo grins and cylinder speeds with factorial SPD. It was observed that cylinder speed and treatment have a significant effect on the performance indices. The results show that the milling recovery and capacity of machine increased as the cylinder speed increase. The milling recovery and capacity of machine was highest (62.62 %) and (17.65 kg-h-1) for 24 h soaked grins at 22.83 m-s-1 cylinder speed. The head rice per cent was found to be highest (93 %) for 24 h soaked grins at cylinder speed 11.57 m-s-1. The percentage of broken rice decreased with the increase soaking time and decrease cylinder speed.Keywords

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the field performance of developed manual operated single wheel weeder at ICAR-Central Research Institute for Jute and Allied Fibres, Barrackpore, Kolkata. Various parameters such as field capacity, weeding efficiency, draft requirement and performance index of the weeder was measured during the test. The developed weeder can work upto 5.0-6.0 cm depth of operation with actual field capacity of 0.026 ha/h and field efficiency of 76.7 per cent. The draft requirement was 29.7 kg for 18 cm width of weeder. The weeding efficiency of the machine was found to be 81.65 per cent with performance index of 1123.01. The experiment also revealed that the weeding time requirement for single wheel weeder is much less than the manual weeding. It was easy to operate and most importantly involved less human drudgery during its operation.Keywords

The kernel contains the nuts of Chironji. Traditionally, it was removed by hand hammer, small stone disc (Jatta) or by the use of Chironji decorticator. Design experiments were conducted by using the response surface methodology (RSM) for optimizing the machine parameters of wild Chironji nut decorticator. The effect of three variables (disc speed, disc clearance and moisture content) with three levels of disc speed (1.05, 1.64 and 2.28 m/s), three levels of disc clearance (6, 7 and 8 mm) and five levels of moisture treated sample (7.83, 8.34, 8.57, 8.68 and 9.04 %, wet basis.) was used for optimization. The maximum whole kernels percentage and minimum kernel breakage were taken as responses in order to optimize the machine parameters. The most suitable optimal results were found at disc speed 1.05 m/s, disc clearance 7 mm and moisture content 8.57 per cent, respectively. The capacity of decorticator, decorticating efficiency, whole kernel recovery and broken kernel recovery percentage at optimized independent parameters were 22.09 kg/h, 87.20 per cent, 16 per cent and 2.88 per cent, respectively.Keywords
