Abstract

India is the world’s second largest producer of vegetables, responsible for nearly 13.3% of global vegetable production. Carrots are one of the most important vegetable crops produced in various parts of the India. Carrot harvesting is a time-consuming and labor-intensive operation that requires 250-300 man-hours per hectare, as well as more time and energy consume. As a result, carrot digging must be mechanized to save time, money, energy, and human drudgery. Therefore, Tractor operated carrot digger was designed and developed using three types of digging blades (Sweep, Nose and Shovel type).
