Abstract
Traditional manual seed broadcasting leads to uneven distribution, higher seed wastage and inconsistent plant spacing. A mechanical seed sowing machine offers controlled metering and accurate placement of seeds at desired depth and spacing.
This project develops a Seed Sowing Machine powered by an electric motor or ground-wheel drive that delivers seeds through a metering mechanism into opened furrows. Key subsystems include the seed hopper, metering unit (fluted roller or plate type), furrow opener, covering device, frame and power transmission. The unit demonstrates core concepts of agricultural machinery design and manufacturing suitable for academic evaluation.
It is an excellent final-year project for Mechanical, Production, Agricultural, Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering students, combining fabrication, mechanism design and practical agriculture applications.
