Abstract:
Removal of unwanted bottom dried and yellowish green leaves in sugarcane is detrashing. Getting manpower for the purpose is very hard due to drudgery. Hand operated sugarcane De- trasher is developed from the locally available material. This tool was evaluated in sugarcane fields of two different varieties viz, CO-8005, CO-69032. From the evaluation it is found that, In CO-8005 field average stripping efficiency was 83.92% and 1101.4 sugarcanes were handled in 1 hr. In CO-96032 field average stripping efficiency was 82.25 % and 1204.28 sugarcane were handled in 1 hr. Field capacity of the tool is found to be 0.22 acre per day.
