Abstract
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">In India, agriculture is a vital part of the country’s economy and almost everything depends on it. It takes a lot of time and effort for the farmer to remove the leftover root vegetables and crops in soil. Even after manually removing these crops, they can’t fully recover the leftover thing. This process takes more time and is challenging for the farmer. Due to human error, around 20-30% of the crops and root crops are left out in the field. Unfortunately, poor farmers can’t afford the necessary equipment to remove these crops. Generally, Root crops are cultivated by root crop harvester through diggers present under the chassis in the middle which are seen randomly by operators and cultivated or else through cameras which are highly cost and not affordable by all the farmers, hard to maintain and not technically strong by the farmers to operate the cameras.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">Hence, it is aimed to design a Plough machine to take the left over root crops in the field as well as to loosen/break up the soil simultaneously which will be mounted on the tractor or dragged by the tractor.</div></div>
