Abstract
Sugarcane planting is a very labour intensive job and involves considerable human drudgery. Cost of sugarcane planting by mechanized method is less compared to traditional methods. It also reduces drudgery involved in unit operations of sugarcane planting. Thus, recently developed sugarcane cutter planters are getting very good acceptance amongst sugarcane growers Generally planting of any crop is very much important as far as the crop growth and yield is concern. This paper describes regarding the design refinement of a sugarcane cutter planter and its prototype development. In this machine, the complete sugarcane, which is fed by the laborers sitting on the machine, is cut automatically into pieces before dropping into furrows. It also opens the furrows, applies fertilizer, chemical and fungicide and also covers the sets and presses it automatically. It is operated by 35 hp tractor and has 2 units. The performance of the planter was evaluated in field. Its field capacity was 0.2 ha/hr with field efficiency of 80.0 percent at effective working width of 1.35 m and forward speed of 1.85 km/hr at 2nd low gear. The set length was 31.8 cm with an average overlap of 6.48 cm observed at the speed of 2.5 km/hr. The seed rate capacity of machine was found 5.55 tones per ha.
