Abstract: | Saline tolerant and the tall cultivars of paddy in the pokkali system is native to central parts of Kerala have importance on several factors such as traditional value and nutrition, taste etc. The cropping area is declining due to the several constraints in cultivation, mainly due to lack of suitable harvesting machine. In initiate a harvester design, the requirements in traditional cultivation practices are to be identified and it’s essential to ensure the design is fulfilling the existing requirements. In this context, the requirements of mechanized harvesting of paddy in the pokkali system were investigated through survey on farmers, field observations and sample experimentation. The identified data are crop parameters, sub operations of harvesting to be optimized, customer (farmer) preferences and technical aspects of the machine to be designed, and they form the base for a new design. The chapter discusses the requirements identification and results out of the research. |
