Traditional tillers rely on fossil fuels, leading to emissions and high operating costs. The proposed , which is stored in batteries to power the tiller’s motor. This design offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly alternative for farmers, especially in off-grid areas. The objective of this study is to assess the operational efficiency, energy storage capacity, and long-term viability of the tiller in real-world agricultural conditions. By promoting renewable energy usage in farming, this innovation supports sustainable agricultural practices.
To reduce the polution of soil and avoide preservatives and chemical from farming of Mentha oil . an electric tiller in realworld agricultural settings. The research aims to demonstrate how the electric tiller can enhance agricultural productivity, reduce environmental impact, and support sustainable farming practices through renewable energy use.
2. APPLICATION AREA Electric tiller machines are ideal for step farming in mountainous regions, such as Assam's tea plantations. They navigate steep, narrow terraces, loosening soil and managing weeds efficiently. Their eco-friendly, quiet operation benefits sensitive ecosystems, promoting sustainable agriculture in tea farms and high-altitude terrains, enhancing productivity without harming the environment.

The early development of power tillers dates back to the mid20th century when manufacturers began experimenting with small engine-powered machines that could provide the benefits of mechanization to smallholder farmers. Diesel engines became the preferred power source due to their reliability, fuel efficiency, and ability to operate in a variety of conditions. By the 1950s and 1960s, Japan and other Asian countries were pioneers in developing diesel-powered tillers, primarily for rice cultivation.
