Abstract


Agriculture being one of the major occupations in India. Agriculture plays a vital role in the Indian
economy. Indian agriculture has registered impressive growth over the last few decades. It is very
essential to discover and implement new ideas in this field, though a lot of work has been done in this
area. It is unfortunate that these ideas are not being implemented properly in the actual field. This is
due to high cost and is complicated for rural people. Multipurpose agriculture or farming machine is
a basic and major machine involved in agriculture for maximum yielding. The Conventional method
of weeding, seed sowing and pesticide spraying is a laborious process and hence for that reason there
is a scarcity of labours and basically, many farmers in India also use bullocks, horses, and buffalo for
farming operations. This will not satisfy the energy requirement of farming as compared to other
countries in the world. This result in delayed agriculture crop production practices to overcome these
difficulties, we are thinking that human and animal efforts can be replaced by some advance
mechanism which will be suitable for small scale farmers from economical and effort point of view.
So, we are developing this machine which will satisfy all this need and to solve the labour problem. A
solar powered multipurpose agricultural machine with AI technology is designed for detecting crop,
digging, water spraying and pesticide spraying purposes.
