Design Analysis of Manual Rice Transplanter

Agriculture is most important sector of the Indianeconomy. It is most important source of employment for the majority of the work force in the country. Rice is primary and major crop cultivated in India. About 70%of Indians are dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. As the large work force is engaged in this sector, Traditional method is costly, time consuming and labour intensive work. These problems can be solved with the help of riceplanting machine.This study is focused on design analysis of a manually operated rice transplanter for small scale Indian rice cultivators. By achieving the goals like simplifying the mechanism, reduce cost and reduced weight of present rice transplanter. The availability and use of manual rice transplanter in Western Maharashtra is very rare, so design of this project is useful to farmers. This machine can bring revolution in rice production
