Weed control is one of the most essential and expensive operation in crop production. The conventional methods of weeding viz., manual and animal drawn involve drudgery, time loss and also increase the cost of operation. Manual weeding is common in Indian agriculture. It is the most widely used weed control method but it is labour intensive. The use of mechanical weeder will reduce drudgery and ensure a comfortable posture of the farmer or operator during weeding. This will resultantly increase production. Average depth and width of operation of developed machine was 14 cm and 110 cm, respectively. The performance evaluation of machine was calculated on the basis of three different engine speeds i.e. 2180, 2752, 2905 rpm and results showed that, field efficiency of 51.3, 64.96, 72.73 per cent was with fuel consumption of 0.81, 1.19, 1.68 lt./hr, respectively with weeding efficiency of 53.4, 63.73, 72.11 percent. Thus, this weeder was found to be beneficial on the basis of weeding efficiency and operating time.Keywords

Medicinal nuts like hirada and ritha have many medicinal properties and used for many pharmaceutical operations. Presently shelling of hirada (Terminalia chebula) and ritha (Sapindus mukorossi) nuts is done manually, which is labour intensive, slow and tedious operation. Therefore, a power operated medicinal nut sheller was developed on the basis of shear principle. The capacity of the machine has been observed to be 114 kg-h-1 and 170 kg-h-1 for hirada and ritha nuts, respectively. Shelling efficiency of nuts was 83 per cent and 80.66 per cent for hirada and ritha, respectively. Per cent broken seeds were observed as 28.9 per cent and 7.9 per cent for hirada and ritha, respectively.Keywords
