INTRODUCTIONS
While marketing and promoting the sugarcane bud chipper, Roshanlal
realized that in sugarcane farming, many drudgery related issues have remained
unaddressed. He observed that farmers prefer to plant sugarcane buds directly in
the field manually, which is a cumbersome and time consuming process. Once the
problem got identified, he started working on the solution.

Initially he developed a manually dragged planter with one particular type
of metering mechanism. He tried it in his field and when he obtained successful
results, he converted the manually dragged version to a tractor mounted planter.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
A Challenged by an engineer to make a machine that can remove buds from
the sugarcane for the plantation purpose so as to minimize losses as well as time,
money and seeds, Roshanlal came up with this implement.
By pressing the food pedal, the unit removes the bud from the node of the
sugarcane, which is then used for planting. . It was hampered by lack of
availability of saplings in large numbers. The farmer wondered whether the
sugarcane buds, instead of being planted, could be sown like potatoes on the fields.

The device consists of a platform, hemi sphere chipping knife, linkage
system and handle. It is used to chip out the bud from sugarcane for sowing
purpose and for tissue culture.
Novelty of the unit lies in foot lever operated hemi sphere chipping knife
which provides gentle cutting of bud without extra loss of sugarcane during
sowing. This ultimately gives higher income to the farmer by utilizing the
remaining portion of the chipped canes which can be used for juice extraction or
sugar production.
