Environmental Hazards due pesticides
Detail:
Our proposed product is a bio-pesticide which is quite different from chemical pesticides. Moreover, the product shall be prepared from a weed of no economic value. Secondly, the raw material can be cultivated at bare and non-cultivable lands with very less irrigation water. Thirdly, the product will be cheaper than the existing pesticides and bio-pesticides. Our product can mimic the activity of both pesticide and insecticide therefore it is a one for all type of product. So, a farmer buys one product but gets the benefit of two different products at the same time therefore our product will fetch the market very soon. 16.

Practice Details
Link: The automatic machine consists of a micro controller, motor, power transmission system and arrangement for switching over the yarn from one spoke to another. The innovator has two versions -1. Semi automatic that is not having micro controller rather a mechanical control system 2. Automatic having micro controller. In both the versions the user needs to place bundle of yarn on the specified place, put the thread from the primary spoke to secondary spokes (other side) manually and the machine is switched on, the machine follows the sequence and completes the task automatically without human intervention. Semi automatic machine takes 6 hours while the automatic machine takes 1.5 hours for a saree Electricity consumption per hour - 1 unit No. of manpower needed for operating the machine - 1 person 4 Limit Switches are used for the machine, which has to be replaced after 6 months
