Abstract:
Basin listing is one of the oldest practice traditionally known as tie ridging or bund forming, it was extensively practiced across India for various crop requirements such as paddy, wheat, onion, millets and vegetable crops. The tractor drawn basin lister on which modification has been made was efficient for the basin formation of 6×2m, but due to its restricted length of bund forming mechanism the automation of the existing implement was taken under consideration for developing the electronically automated tractor drawn basin lister and the performance evaluation was carried out by covering the total area of 1.36 ha for duration 2.23 hr. The functional components of electronic system are Arduino Uno, Relay, Keypad, LCD, I2C, IR sensor and DC motor. The Arduino was programed with Embedded C language in environment IDE 1.18.9.
