Tractor operated straw reaper-cum-trailer
This design has the provision of trolley over the straw reaper for
collecting the straw. It harvests straw of combine harvested
wheat field, gathers shattered ear heads as uncut plants from
the field, threshes straw into fine quality bhusa and separates
collected grains. Simultaneously it blows bhusa (fine straw) in
the in-built overhead trailer. Thus the work of harvesting,
threshing, loading and unloading is done with only one tractor
while in the existing system additional tractor and trailer is
required to collect the straw.

Design consideration of Rainwater harvesting pond in vertisols

Design parameters of rain water harvesting pond under vertisols of Madhya
Pradesh are as follows :
Average depth of pond = 3.0 m with standard specifications of bunds in vertisols
(Minimum bund top width = 3.0 m, side slope of H:V=2 :1).
Design rainfall (monsoon Season) = 920 mm
Design runoff depth to fill pond every year = 300 mm
Average pond area = 10-12 per cent of watershed area.
Seepage loss during July-September = 300 mm
Losses due to seepage & evaporation = 30% of storage capacity of pond
Utilisable storage = 70% of designed storage capacity for irrigating crop.
The design parameters were validated by constructing nine water harvesting
ponds of varying watershed area at different locations in Bhopal. Entire kharif and
50% of rabi crop can be irrigated twice with two fold increase in yield. Increase in
yield due to irrigation was 0.6 t/ha, 1.59 t/ha, 1.56 t/ha and 1.39 t/h for soybean,
rice, wheat and chickpea respectively.
Pond is to be excavated on 10% area of watershed.
Excavation cost is Rs 40/ m3 of earthwork.
Rs. 1,50,000/ ha-m of water storage capacity
(using bulldozer and hydraulic buck scraper)
Higher farmers income through increased productivity. The benefit cost ratio is
2.0 considering total benefit and cost under irrigated condition.
For horticultural crops, the payback period for water harvesting and recycling with
micro-irrigation systems is 6 years.
Prevents soil degradation, improve ecology and increases ground water
recharging.
The developed water storage can be used for aquacultural purposes.
Supplemental 1-2 irrigation in kharif & 2-3 irrigations in rabi season.
Ground water recharge during 4-6 month storage period @ 8000-10000 m3/ha

Technology of water harvesting pond has been adopted by Madhya Pradesh (MP)
State Government under Rajiv Gandhi Watershed Mission Programme during XI
Plan.

graded nuts are fed to conveying screw through hopper.
The nuts get compressed between the conveying screw
and cutting tips, the husk is peeled off and the kernel is
ejected by the leads of on the conveying
screw.
Anthropometric data were used for design of the height of
handle from the ground, crank length, height of frame ,
and the height of hopper. The dehusker unit was

Arecanuts are harvested at physiological maturity and
sundried to reduce moisture content upto 6 to 7 %. After
drying, the dehusking is done by women workers using a
country kitchen tool having a wooden plank and curved
MS blade. This conventional method is highly labour

Human Strength Measurement Setup
This equipment has been developed for measurement of various
human strength parameters useful for ergonomical design of
agricultural equipment and machines. The strength parameters
which can be measured by the set-up are push and pull strengths by
one or both hands in sitting and standing postures, right and left leg
and foot strength in sitting posture, steering force which a seated
operator can apply on a steering wheel with one or both hands in
clock-wise or anti clock-wise direction, right and left hand grip torque
in clock-wise or anti clock-wise direction and cranking force with one
or both the hands in standing posture. For accurate and reliable
measurement of strength parameters, a strain-gauge type load cell
with an indicator is used, which is mounted with appropriate fixtures
provided for the purpose. The set-up is portable and can be
dismantled into different components for easy transport from place
to place. It takes about 15 minutes, to dismantle/assemble the setup. The Set-up is supplied without load cell and load indicator. The
users have to buy their own tension- compression type load cells
and load indicator.
Weight
: 142 kg
This is a laboratory equipment. Using this setup a team of two
people can take data on 14 strength parameters for 10 people in a
day.
Rs. 21,000/- (excluding the load cell and indicator).

1440 for large bullocks
Slope at the top edge of curvature, 0 - 45
Middle slope for contact with hump, 0 - 11
Bottom slope for neck, 0 - 18
Length of curvature, mm- 300
Weight, kg- 4.3 for small bullocks
4.75 kg for large bullocks
Material- Wood of Lasoda tree
Draught capacity with local yoke, % body weight- 12.0
Draught capacity with Allahabad yoke, % body weight- 14.2
Initial cost, Rs- 500/There is 38% increase in contact area of Allahbad yoke as
compared to traditional yoke, which has resulted in 27.70%
additional draught capacity. Since the yoke is more comfortable the
total working period of bullocks is increased by 1 h due to less
fatigue.
This is an improvement of traditional technology, which can be
easily adopted by village artisans. Therefore there is increased
adoption of new technology. This increases employment in rural
areas.
