Design and Fabrication of Semiautomatic Sugarcane Bud Chip Cutting Machine

Agriculture is the backbone of India. The need of agriculture product in India has risen due to huge popularity, scarcity of labours in agriculture and increasing labour wages. In today’s world there is a demand for Sugarcane and its byproducts. The major state growing sugarcanes are Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, now India is the 4th leading producer of sugarcane in world. In today’s world, the entire requirements are being fulfilled through automatic system. The demand for reducing the wastage of sugarcane .So the search of easy semiautomatic method is completed by our project on the topic Design and Fabrication of semiautomatic Sugarcane Bud Chipping Machine, which is used for producing Sugarcane Bud for the plantation and growing sugarcane which is helpful to farmer that reduces the initial cost, and increase the yield of production in sugarcane.. One alternative to reduce the mass and improve the quality of seed cane would be to plant excised auxiliary buds of cane stalk, popularly known as bud chips. These bud chips are less bulky, easily transportable and more economical seed material. The bud chip technology holds great promise in rapid multiplication of new cane varieties. The chipped bud cane is placed in fertile soil which is filled in one kg. Polythene bags, small holes made in the bottom portion of polythene bag for aeration, single bud cuttings made from top one third portion of seed cane stalk, planted horizontally with bud position upward in top one fourth soil portion and covered with thin soil layer followed by applying water with a watering cane.
