A low cost manually operated push type maize planter was designed, developed and tested in the testing bed of the department of Farm Power and Machi nery, Bangladesh A gricultural University, My mensingh which r educes these proble ms. The maize planter consists of two ru nner wheels, a seed hopper, an inclined plate type seed metering device, a seed tube, a pair of bed former and handle. Power is transmitted from the runner wheel to the m etering device through bevel gear mechanism. UniGreen (NK -41) hybrid maize seeds were used to test the planter. The pushing force of the maize planter was 90 N, which i s quiet low to operate by a female pers on. The machine might be acceptable since it i s easy to operate, simple in design and mechanism, light in weight, requires less labor and cost of planting after further trial in the farmer’s field.

Introduction Maize ( Zea mays L.) is the thi rd most important grain crop in the world. It is introduced relatively as new crop of Bangladesh especially in the northern region. Every year 1.http://fluidearthconcrete.com/userfiles/dsg-vs-manual-acceleration.xml2 million tons of maize is utilized, of which only 42 is produced in the country and remaining Asia n i s imported from other countries ( BBS, 2011 ). More than 90 of maize is used as poultry feed and the remaining in fish sector Maize is a crop with versatile uses and i t has an enormous market potential in Bangladesh. The country’s poultry industry continues to grow and s o t here is also a growing demand for maize. Maize cultivation has been conducted in Bangladesh since 1975, but did not get popularity until 1992 due to low yield and no ensured market. Shelling of maize was also another barrier for maize cultivation. Roy et. al. (2007) reported that power operated maize sheller could overcome the shortage of expensive labour during peak harvesting season. In the last ten years (2000-01 to 2009-10) the maize area has expanded from 2,834 to 50,202 hectares occupying the third position among cereals ( BBS, 2011 ). There is still shortage of maize in Bangladesh and its cultivation area is i ncreasing every year. The Bang ladesh government is providing credit at 4 interest for mai ze cultivation which is further encouraging farmers. The major factors responsible for low maize yield are the use of low yielding varieties and inadequate cultural management practice s particularly in the area of fertilization, insect, diseases, weed control, and most importantly, planting operation. In Bangladesh, maize is normally cultivated manually and in manual planting, seeds sown per hi ll are more than the prescribed amount. This results to over population and consequently reduce yield due to i nsect build-up and nutrients and sunlight competition. This method of maize cultivation also requires a lot of labor and time. Farmers practice broadcast sowing of maize which costs less, but final income is also less due to increased plant population rate, higher seed cost, increase intercultural operat ional cost and lower grain yields. Few farmers practice labor i ntensive line sowing method with higher labour cost which also encourages the introduction of maize planters. Researchers in home and abroad ( Singh et. al., 1984; Lara-Lopez et. al., 1996; Roth et. al., 2001; Rolando et. al., 2011 ) had gone through the development and evaluation of planter for maize establishment. Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) had been working on the development of power operated maize seeder and designed a power tiller operat ed in clined plate planter (IPP) for multiple granular seed and tested its performance and profitability. Ahmmed et. al. (2004) reported that using a well-designed planter attachment to power tillers (two-wheel tractors) more area could be brought under maize, wheat, pulses and oil seeds cultivation. Seeding operation of maize in Bangladesh i s at low level as farmers s till use bare hands or hand tools to sow seed in the furrow beds and then cover the seed by hand. The maize planters available in the market are imported, designed to operate in large farms, expensive and n ot suited to loc al conditions. Therefore, the use of big maize planter unde r Bangladesh condition is not economically feasible. A low cost maize seed er is able to remove all this constraints and suitable for m aize establishment in Bangladesh. Thus objectives of this study were to develop a low c ost planter for maize planting and to evaluate the performance of the planter in Bangladesh context. II. Materials and Methods This study was conducted at the workshop of the department of the farm power and machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh in 2013 and field performance were carried out in the testing bed of departmental workshop during robi, the major growing season according to tillage methodology recommended by the BARI. The experimental site was a medium high land contains a sandy loamy sail with low moisture content. Components of the Maize Seeder Main components of the maize seeder were seed hopper, plate type seed metering devi ce, seed tube, disc type bed former, runner wheel and h andle. Details of the components are des cribed below: Seed hopper: It cont ains seed and th e seed metering device. The amount of seed contained depends upon the size of the seed hopper. The capacity of this seed hopper is around 2 kg. The top and bottom Dimensions are in cm Figure 01. Isometric view of seed hopper Figure 02. Orthographic view of a plate type seed metering device for the planter (8 teet h) Plate type seed metering device: Metering device is the most important part of a maize seeder. The seed rate and seed spacing are adjusted by metering device. Maize seeds are relatively l arge and flat plate type seed metering device is well suited for planting maize seeds. The stationary ring surrounding the plate should fit well for best performance. Plates with round or oval holes were used for drilling and hill dropping seed. The diameter of the metering device is 16.8 cm with 8 cells open for passing the seed. The entire metering device is attached to a vertical shaft. A differential mechanism was used between the vertical shaft and a horizontal shaft, attached to the runner wheels. The orthographic view of a plate type seed metering device for the seeder (8 teeth) is shown in Figure 02. Seed tube: It is a pl astic tube thr ough which seeds were passed from the m etering device to the soil. The length of the seed tube was 30.48 c m and diameter was 2.54 cm. It is attached to the bottom of the seed hopper. Disc type bed former: Bed former is used to form a ridge by gathering soil. The sweep type bed former of the maize planter makes a ridge by gathering soil from the two sides of the falling seed in the land and cover the s eeds with soil. The bed formers were made of rigid mild steel sheet. The diameter of the bed formers was 25.4 cm. The bed formers were attached to an adjustable frame maintaining a disc angle of 45 0 and tilt angle of around 10 0 to 15 0. There were holes on both sides of the frame by which the position of the bed formers were adjusted. This affects in the height and width of the ridge. The isometric view and photographic view of t he disc type bed former is shown in Fig ure 03. Figure 03. Disc type bed former (a) Isometric vi ew, and (b) Photographic view 21.6 20.3 17.0 (a) The diameter of the runner wheel was 40.64 c m. Distance between the runner wheels was fixed to 60 cm to maintain t he spacing between the rows. The isometric v iew of runner wheel and photographic view of runner wh eel are shown in Figure 04. (a) (b) Figure 04. Runner wheel (a) Isometric view, a nd (b) Photographic view Handle: By pushing the handle the seed er go forward. The handle was made of GI pipe. The length of the handle was 60.96 cm and diameter of the h andle was 2.54 cm. Power Transmission S ystem: The maize seeder was operated manually to make it cost effective. Power was transmitted from the runner wheel to the seed metering device through bevel gears using a differential mechanism. Flow diagram of the power transmission system is presented in Figure 05(a), and the photographic view of the different ial mechanism is illustrated in Figure 05(b). (a) (b) Figure 05. Power transmission system (a) Flow diagram, and (b) Photographic view of the differential mechanism Test of maize seeder: According to t he design the maize s eeder was fabricated in the departmental workshop. Finally, the seeder was tested both in the lab oratory and testing bed (13.41 m length and 2.13 m width, sandy loam soil texture). The calibration of the maize seeder is shown in Fig. 06.The Field test of the maize seeder is shown in Figure 07. (All dimensions are in centimeter) Field capacity Turning time at the end of the field was added w ith actual operat ing time for effective field capacity determination. In between distances of the dropped maize seeds by the maize seeder ware measured very carefully. The bed former beside the seed tube were detached before the operation. After the field trial, the average distance of dropped maize seed was calculated. Cost analysis Operational cost of the machine is the s um of fixed cost and variable cost of the machine. The total cost of the machine was determined by knowing the cost of the materials used to fabricate the applicator and fabricating cost of the machine. The cost of operation of the seeder was determined co nsidering the fixed cost and variable cost parameter of the app licator. For total fixed cost calculation only depreciation and 10 interest o n investment were considered. No tax, insurance or shelter cost s were considered for Bangladesh context. The self-weight of the maize planter is about 14 kg. A photographic view of fabricated low cost maize planter is shown in Figure 08 and also the Isometric view of the designed maize planter is shown in Figure 09. The overall specification of the maize planter is presented in Table 01. Figure 08. Photographic view of a designed low c ost maize planter Figure 09. Isometric view of designed maize pla nter Table 01 Specifications of a low cost maize planter Name of the component No.The average missing rate was 13.43. Figure 10. Graphical representation of test of M issing rate () for developed maize planter Field Capacity for developed maize planter Figure 11shows the test result of field capacity. It is observed that the effective field capacity varies due to the change i n time loss and for variable operational speed of the machine. The machine performance was reduced due to clogging of the bed former when the machine operates in soil of high moisture content.Some of the seeds were trapped in between the seed hoppe r and metering device due to its inclined face shape. T he average distance of dropped seed was 23.15, 22.57, 22.26 and, 22.03 for test 1, 2, 3, and, 4 respectively whereas the recommended distance was 20 cm by Mondal et al. (2014). Distance of dropped seed in the test of maize seeder is presented in Figure 13. Figure 13. Average distance of dropped seed for maize planter Test result of plant population Figure 14 shows the result of plant population of maize. It was observed that the number of plant was much higher for t he manual p lanting which would have a downbeat affect on the overall yield of maize. Moreover, the plant population for the developed planter was also low than the recommended population. Therefore, the seeder was needed to modify to obtain the appropriate plant pop ulation. 60,48 79,64 92,81 73,65 0 20 40 60 80 100 Test1 Test2 Test3 Test4 Field efficiency () Observation no. 23,15 22,57 22,26 22,03 0 5 10 15 20 25 Test1 Test2 Test3 Test4 Average distance of dropped seed (cm) Observation no. The maize planter required very less power to push. Only 10 kg pushing force was required to operate the planter and 0.044 kW drawbar power was developed by the maize planter.

The fabrication cost of t he maize planter was low. The cost of the developed maize seeder was approximately Tk.1800 which is within the buying capacity of the farmers of Bangladesh. Therefore, the low c ost maize seeder may be accepted for demonstration and use. Calibration of the seed m etering device should be done accurately to get right seed rate and seed spacing. Departm ent of Crops and Soils Science. Agricultural Engineering International: the CIGR eJournal.Available literature indicates that seeding rates for manually operated maize planters may vary considerably. These two studies show that the planter seed rate is within the range of what other researchers have achieved with two rows maize planters..

The main purpose of sowing operation is to put the seeds in rows at desired depth, maintain seed to seed spacing, cover seeds with soil and provide proper compaction over the seed. The timeliness, labor cost and sowing efficiency of the machine, and uniformity of sowing is also responsible for optimum yield (Rabbani et al., 2016b).. Performance evaluation of a manual and a motor-operated maize seeder Article Full-text available Jun 2019 Samiul Basir Mustagis Billah M. A. Rabbani A motor-operated maize seeder was designed and fabricated. The performance of the seeder was tested in laboratory and compared with a manual-operated seeder. The two seeders, manual-operated and motor-operated, provided an average seed spacing of 22.48 cm and 20.94 cm, respectively, while the standard seed spacing for maize is 20 cm. The seed spacing of the motor-operated seeder varied from the standard value because of the trapping of seed between the seed hopper and metering device. The missing rate of the manual seeder was 13.2 while the motor-operated seeder provided a missing rate of 5.9. Due to constant forward speed, the motor-operated seeder resulted in 2.3 times lesser missing rate than the manual seeder. Break-even analysis shows that at the yearly use of 0.23 hectares, the operation cost of manual seeder and hand application method were the same. Therefore, manual seeder will be beneficial to the farmers when the annual use exceeds 0.23 hectares of land. Compared to manually-operated seeder, the motor-operated seeder can reduce seed requirement by reducing missing rate and save labor and time of operation if the time loss during turning can be minimized.

View Show abstract Business Rationale for Investment on Power Operated Maize Sheller in Bangladesh Article Full-text available Swapan Roy Mike Albu Abdur Rob A study was carried out to investigate the investment of a selected agro-machinery power operated Maize Sheller in the course of mechanization of Bangladesh. The analysis considers different types of Maize Sheller, and inter-regional differences in agro-economic factors that influence the business rationale for investment. Maize Shellers are increasingly needed to serve demand from poultry sector because manual shelling is very laborious. Comparing with manual shelling, results indicate that power operated Maize Shellers look like a wise investment (5 - 8 acres for 25 internal rate of return or IRR). However, it makes economic sense to operate shellers at higher capacities, and along with the high capital cost (Tk1 18,000 - 22,000) to save large numbers of labours to farmers and maize traders. Therefore, power operated Maize Sheller can able to overcome the shortage of expensive labour during peak harvesting season.

Power tiller operated seeder (PTOS) with fluted roller type metering device are adopting by the farmers. These seeders could not be used for planting maize. An initiative was taken to improve the seeder for using maize planting during 2014-15 at Jamalpur. The modified seeder was evaluated in the field and found that desired seed spacing (20 cm) and uniformity (98) could be achieved. Rostom Ali Chayan Kumer Saha Tumpa Sarker Murshed Alam A machine which can sow seeds of paddy, wheat, black gram, mung bean, lentil, mustard, and radish in rows was designed and developed at the department of Farm Power and Machinery, Bangladesh Agricultural University. The machine consisted of two wheels, two drums with a number of peripheral openings in seven rows, two furrow openers, two furrow closers and a handle. The average seed rate was found as 88 kg ha-1, 122 kg ha-1, 33 kg ha-1, 50 kg ha-1, 32 kg ha-1, 3.8 kg ha-1, andA relation was found between seed rates and filling condition of drums. Since the seed rates were not uniform with the change of filling conditions of drums by seeds, agitators were designed and fixed with the shaft to get the better seed rate at different filling conditions.Overall, the performance of the multi-crop seed drill machine was found satisfactory.

Rabbani The present study was explored the feasibility of implementing fast and reliable computer-based systems for the automatic recognition of pulse crops from color and gray intensity images. Pulse crop’s size, shape, color and texture characteristics are obtained by standard image-processing techniques and their discriminating power as classification features was assessed. Each image contains approximately 15-20 pulses of same and mix varieties together and considers the implementation of a simple RGB and gray color model for recognition. The results indicate that classifier based on an adequately selected set of classification features has an excellent performance. The success rates of Lentil, Ground Nut, Chick-pea and Split-pea were 90.02, 90.33, 91.96 and 83.58, respectively. In addition, the recognition gave highest percentages using distinct characteristics as classification features.
