About the Practice
Problem Statement:

Manual and time consuming process of harvesting

Detail:

It is a tractor operated modified combine harvester with the provision of collecting chaff. The machine has been manufactured to enable farmers perform both the tasks viz. harvesting and threshing simultaneously. It can be operated using tractor of 65 hp and above. The combine harvester, having two separate chambers for storing fodder and wheat grains, cuts stalk of wheat in a manner, which minimizes the loss of grains and fodder during harvesting. The chances of wheat grains getting cut or damaged is considerably low due to the mechanism used in the machine, which separates fine-quality grains from wheat straws very quickly. This machine harvests one acre (2.5 bigha) of standing crop in an hour. The crop storage chamber of the machine can store wheat up to eight quintals whereas the straw collecting chamber can collect and store about six to eight quintals of straw. Prasad has also filed a patent application for his innovative technology.
