Abstract –
This paper presents the idea of the automatic system which detects and removes the blockages in the pipes of seeder machine. This automatic system is very useful for farmers. As increase in the technology, all the sector needs automation in every system. In current generation most of countries do not have sufficient manpower specially in agriculture sector. So there is need to develop equipment which will reduce the efforts of farmers. This system introduces a control mechanism which aims to detect blockages in the pipes of seeder machine and automatic removal of it by developing an android application. Objective of this system is to develop a totally automated system for seed sowing process. Hence by replacing a manual system, develop a secure, reliable and efficient system.
But nowadays we are using many machines to do many works of farming. Like we are having seeder machine for sowing seedes. The present methods of seed sowing are problematic. The equipment used for seed sowing are very difficult and inconvenient to handle. So there is a need to develop equipment which will reduce the efforts of farmers. Now a day this seeder machine is used for the sowing purpose but there are some problems related to this machine like blockages. So we are going to overcome that problems. This system introduces a control mechanism which aims to detect blockages in the pipes of seeder machine. And automatic removal of it by developing android application. The drawbacks of the existing seeder machine will be overcome.
Key Words: (seeder machine, arduino microcontroller, HC05 bluetooth module, blockage removal circuit) 1. INTRODUCTION: In the current generation most of countries do not have sufficient skilled manpower specifically in agriculture sector and it affects the growth of developing countries. Our India is one of the developing country in world. Which is on the a way to become an advanced country. So development in all fields is needed. In India, near about 70% people are dependent on agriculture. Our whole economy is based on agriculture. Agriculture field involves the effective production of food/feed/fiber and other goods for human and animals. From ancient day human power is used for different work of farming. It depend on huge amount for man power for it as well as it is more time consuming because all the process or works of farming has to done by human on its own.
1.2. PROPOSED WORK: To overcome the disadvantage of present methods of seed sowing mechanism. We are going to develop equipment which will detect the blockages and automatic removal of blockages in the pipes of seeder machine. For detection of blockages we are going to use the LDR (Light Dependent Resister) will placed inside a transparent tube through which seed flow occurs. We are developing an advanced sensor system for detection of blockages. When blockages are detected farmer get the message on mobile phone and clogs inside the pipe also removed by blowing the pressurized air inside the pipe.
Traditional sowing methods having following limitations:

In manual seeding, it is not possible to achieve uniformity in distribution of seeds. A farmer may sow at desired seed rate but inter-row and intra-row distribution of seeds is likely to be uneven resulting in bunching and gas in field. Poor control over depth of seed placement. Labour requirement is high because two persons are required for dropping seed and fertilizer.
