Abstract
Potato is an important vegetable crop of winter season. Cultivation of potato is highly labour intensive because of non-availability of labour when it is carried out by labours with kodali and pavda. Delay in planting because of labour during season causes progressive decrease in yield. There is scarcity of labour during sowing operation of potato. The area under potato crop may increase if planting is mechanized through the mini-tractors. The use of planter will also improve the quality of planting in addition to removal of human drudgery during planting. Therefore project entitled “Development of Mini Tractor Operated Two Row Semi Automatic Potato Planter” was undertaken at Department of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, Anand Agricultural University, Anand.
