| dc.description.abstract | Finger millet ( importance among major millets in the country. crop is harvested manually and transported to threshing yard, where it is threshed either by beating the crop manually with sticks, bullock stone roller and a tractor with or without a stone roller is passed over the crop spread uniformly on the floor. These practices are labour oriented, tedious and uneconomical but also leading to considerable amount of loss of grain during the threshing process. To address t power operated Finger millet thresher was developed and its performance was evaluated. The cylinder of 24 cm diameter and 31 cm length, having 9 rasp bars on the periphery, cylinder provide impact force to the crop to separate crop. While the semi circular perforated concave made up of M.S. flats and rods having the opening sizes 5 x 5 mm is fitted below the threshing drum. To this concave a mesh having hole size of fitted above the concave to facilitate t the cylinder and concave. efficiency, cleaning efficiency, 2.59 per cent and 63.40 kg/h, respectively, at a cylinder speed of 1050 rpm. The cost of threshing 1kg of Ragi at 12% moisture content was 0.87, only. Hanumantharaju.K.N Eleusine coracana L. Gaerth) HANUMANTHARAJU, K.N. ABSTRACT Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn) ranks third in Generally Finger millet which rotates along the grains from the the rubbing action in between The developed thresher had the threshing breakage and capacity of 94.15, 93.25, H.
