Abstract
Sugarcane is the prime crop of Indian agricultural market. Sugarcane resembles 80% of sugar made all across the globe. The process of harvesting of sugarcane becomes easier with the help of machines. Still there are some processes in agriculture that require special care while atomizing. Like sowing a sugarcane crop seed. This sowing of seed required careful cutting of sugarcane stalk. There are semiautomatic machines now days available for this purpose, but these machines are indirectly damaging the bud of sugarcane. To avoid this happening the design of new semiautomatic machine is presented in this research paper. The machine is designed not to harm the bud of sugarcane without compromising on its efficiency. The model cuts one bud per two second. This matches with the current machines in market with decrease in cost. This machine costs 20,360 INR. Where market survey gives cost of 40,000 INR for similar machine. Fabricated machine gives 1800 number of buds in an hour. Satisfying the performance criteria. This machine reduces the labor work of farmers which better safety at reasonable price. © 2022
