To solve problems in the spraying of agrochemicals in the fields, Mansukhbhai Jagani farmer from Gujarat, India developed a sprayer which is efficient and affordable.This has been done with a diesel Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle complete with attachments for tilling, weeding, and sowing small farm holdings. Jagani’s machine proves to be cost effective and fuel efficient. It can plow an acre of land in 30 minutes, consuming just two liters of fuel. Santi can weed 10 hectares of land in a day at the cost of Rs 15 per hectare.
To accomplish such tasks, Jagani has created an attachment that can be hooked to any 300+ cc motorcycle by replacing the rear wheel with an assembly unit, also designed and developed by him.
With the help of National Innovation Foundation (NIF), Ahmedabad, Jagani has attained a patent in India and in the US for his innovation
Amazing stuff!
