- Abstract
Weeds are one of the major causes for the loss of agricultural production. Weeds compete with crops for essential nutrients. In cultivation process, it is a very strenuous job to weed out manually the unwanted shrubs in the farm by the farmer. Although this task is accomplished by the bullock cart equipment, it would lead to damage in the main crops. Almost 40 percent of the cost caused in the horticulture gets redirected to the weeding activities in this manner lessening the benefit offers of the kinsmen. As fuel is the major necessity in the world today and all major equipments run on fuel, making it scarce and priced high which cannot be affordable by the farmer. This can be overcome with the design of small equipment which works on motor as a substitute to an engine. It would help the farmers to extract the unwanted material which is unfavourable to the farm, at cheaper cost.
