A combine harvester, or simply a combine, is a machine designed to harvest variety of grain crops efficiently. It combines the tasks of harvesting, threshing, and cleaning grain crops- into a single process. The objective is the harvest of the crop such as; rice, corn (maize), sorghum, soybeans, flax (linseed), oats, wheat, rye …etc.

The waste straw left behind on the field is the remaining dried stems and leaves of the crop with limited nutrients which is either chopped and spread on the field or baled for feed and bedding for livestock.

This is heavy machineries, thus can be only used efficiently in plain terai region. This machine is expensive for a single farmer.

It is only different from Reaper that it cut and bind the crop before get dropped into field. Extra manual work is required when harvested by Reaper to bind the crop for threshing purpose. But Reaper cum binder automatic binds the crop during harvesting, thus makes easy to collect and extra human resource is not required for binding. Thus, reduces the input cost for production and increases profitability.

Reaper kiran Wed, 10/03/2018 - 10:10

Reaper is any machine that help in harvesting of cereal grains when they are fully ripe. Reaper simply cut the crop and dropped it unbound on field. Conventional harvesting technique of cereal crop is very laborious work, this consumes more human resource and time for the work to be done.

Instead, increased efficiency in both i.e. in terms of time and human resources for harvesting of cereal crop can be achieved by use of Reaper. This will increase profitability of farm.

Mechanical Weeder kiran Wed, 10/03/2018 - 10:09

Removal of unwanted plants is utmost for optimum production of agricultural crop. But conventional practices of weeding took more time and human resources, thus resulting in low profit and reduced production. The machine could be used instead of manual weeding which reduces the weeding time and increases overall efficiency of weeding. Different mechanical weeder are available nowadays which will perform efficiently with limited human resources and within limited time. Mechanical weeder can be used in every crop i.e. cereals, vegetables, fruits, flowers etc. which is cultivated in definite geometric pattern, rather than broadcasting. Every crop has certain critical weeding period, to ensure weed free field during such duration mechanical weeder is very useful.

Rice Transplanter kiran Wed, 10/03/2018 - 10:09

As suggested by name, Rice transplanter is specialized transplanter used for the transplanting of rice with both machines operating i.e. riding type and hand operating i.e. walking type. This machine is suitable where the land is more or less leveled. Machine transplanting using rice transplanters requires considerably less time and labor than manual transplanting. It increases the approximate area that a person can plant from 700 to 10,000 square metres per day.

Seed Cum Fertilizer Machine kiran Wed, 10/03/2018 - 10:09

Seed cum fertilizer drill is used for simultaneous activities of seeding and fertilization process in single operation. It drills seeds and fertilizer together but delivers them separately in a single drive. The seeds and fertilizer are drilled at different depth, thus insures improved germination. There is separate container for seeds and fertilizer. Use of seed cum fertilizer drill helps to use fertilizer in plant near area and also in the zone where fertilizer loss is low and uptake by plant is high. This ensures efficient use of limited fertilizer. It is operated through tractor. This machine could be used for variety of field crops such as: Maize, Wheat, Barley, Pulses, Peas, Black grams etc.

Zero Till Machine kiran Wed, 10/03/2018 - 10:08

Zero tillage or no-tillage farming is a way of growing crops or Pasteur from year to year without disturbing the soil through tillage. Zero tillage machine is machine which is used for zero tillage or no-tillage farming. It has deep ploughing drill, fitted with container through which seeds are sown in field. Agricultural land where soil erosion through wind and rain is severe should practice zero tillage technique.

About 30% of the crop residues are left in field to be incorporated in soil. Researches from India has shown that, there is chances of about 16 percent yield increase.
