solar energy for seed sowing machine [5]. The calculations were referred from this paper. Another approach for Automatic seed sowing machine integrated with IoT which helps the users to monitor the data on blynk app [6]. An approach for automatic seed sowing robot referred to take considerations for current agriculture scenario [7]. Another work involves development of automatic seed sowing machine reducing the use of pulleys as shaft directly controls the sowing mechanism for reducing overall system complexities [8]. Another approach uses an ARM controller based automatic seed sowing machine with moisture control functionalities [9]. Prior to the existing systems the proposed system introduces approach for multi seed sowing mechanism allows user to select the type of seed they want to sow.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.2 Proposed System
Agriculture as primary source is crucial part of Indian economy. Starting from ancient India various tools and techniques for agriculture are evolved throughout the decades. According to annual report 2021 of agriculture department there is huge demand for food grains most of for wheat and rice. Around 54.6 % workers are engaged with agriculture in India [1]. Also growing technology leads to the innovations in agriculture fields such as smart irrigation system, advanced automotive for agriculture, smart fertilizer spreaders such as uses of drones, Plantation monitoring, disease identification etc. Prior to the researches performed in the field of agriculture automation is playing major role for reducing the human efforts, saving time and improving on field accuracy [2]. Proposed mechanism for Automatic Seed Sowing Machine is integrated with sensors technology and robotics mechanism with selecting different seeds on time sowing. Proposed system uses Arduino Uno and IR sensor for obstacle detection. Prior to the development literature study was performed for better understanding of the concept. Various researches in this field includes:
A reliable system for selecting different seed mechanism with automatic seed sowing machine The machine will operate in such a way that the user only has to put the value in the system and accordingly the machine will operate. Suppose the user put the value 1 (and if we define 1 as for particular seed) then accordingly the motor will set its rpm and the process of seeding will continue. Similarly if person sets any other value then accordingly the machine will operate.
source of living in India. Agriculture is said to be the first income source in India. As technology evolved with automation sector being consistently evolved in various fields. Proposed system Automatic Seed Sowing Machine to integrate the automation in agriculture sector. For reduced human efforts and to reduce the time taken by workers manually sowing seed. Added advantage of the system is it uses mechanism for Seeding different seeds. Also uses an IR sensor which is capable of sensing any obstacle detected in path of seed sowing machine. Proposed system is tested on field for testing the reliability of system.
2. METHODOLOGY
A fully automated multi-crop seeding mechanism, with the utilization methods, advantages and disadvantages and the process involving in the designing of the machine [3]. Another work for design and developed a single row direct planter for maize. The planter may be attached to a walking or riding type two-wheel tractor [4]. Using advantage of
