Abstract

In the modern world, all industries are striving for rapid expansion through the introduction of various advanced technologies, including the agricultural sector. The aim of this paper is to design a solar-powered automatic seed sowing mechanism. The main goal of this design is to create a low-cost, solar-powered, seed- sowing device that can be easily used by farmers. This gadget uses a solar panel to absorb solar energy, which is then converted to electrical energy. The entire device can be fully powered by solar energy, eliminating the need for fossil fuels. In the sowing mechanism, seeds are supplied through two hoppers on either side of the machine. The seeds come out of hopper and are collected by a fan-shaped device that picks the seed from the feeder and places them on the other side of the U-shaped container. The seeds are subsequently released into the ground through a circular aperture. The drive shaft of the machine is connected to this apparatus, which simultaneously rotates both of them. The planted seed is covered is with the soil is covered by new earth applied to the seeds using a plate adjuster. The whole process is automated through a programmed microcontroller without human intervention.
