Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Group meetings and orientation of technical staff of machinery manufacturers were conducted for improving understanding about seeding implements in FMPE Division, BARI Gazipur 2015-16. Flute type seed metering dye produced by the local manufacture successfully and inclined plate seed metering device dye also produced in Rajsahahi. The relationship between researchers and manufacturers improved which reflects in machinery production. Progressive farmers need to close contact with manufacturers for display machinery products and feedback collection. A Saifeng type bed planter has been developed under this programme in Rajshahi. Manufacturers are able to understand the technical functioning components of the implements. Manufacturers showed interested in the fabrication BARI mobile maize and potato harvester.

Keywords: Development, Machines, Manufacturers

Location: Farm Machinery & Postharvest Process Engineering Division, BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-00-2016

End Date: 00-00-2017

Program Area: Farm Mechanization

Commodity: Farm machineries

Objectives:

The main objectives of this study are i. To demonstrate machinery functional parts to manufacturers for better understanding ii. To organize practical training participating key technical staff of manufacturers

Methodology:

Select the best prototype unit from the research organization (WRC, FMPE, BARI). Demonstration cum training and orientation programme has been organized participating manufacturers technical staff, ag engineers from a different department at BARI Rajshahi and Gazipur 2015-2016. Machinery functional components, operation principle, possible troubleshooting of the implements shown practically to the participated technical personnel. A bed planter and a power tiller operated seeder (PTOS) has been given to the manufacturers of Rajshahi as a sample for better understanding and copy for quality one. A follow-up and monitoring programme continued for enhancing production. The selected implement: (i) Power tiller operated seeder (PTOS) with fertilizer application unit and (ii) Power tiller operated bed planter,(iii) BARI Potato harvester and (iv) Mobile Maize. The crucial functional component of these implements is the seed metering device. Flute type seed meter and inclined type seed meter supplied to three manufacturers of Rajshahi for producing dye or copy some units.
