Abstract
Sugar cane is a labor intensive crop, where the most of the cane operations are carried out manually and the use of machinery is limited only for land preparation. The present study aims to manufacture a new prototype machine for transplanting sugar cane crop. Electronic circuit and servo motor control the movement and orientation of carriage belt of transplanting, whenever the infrared rays control the movement of seedling and determine their positions of transplanting tray. Timeliness of opening and closing has been adjusted by precisely by electronic air valves. The experimental work was carried out at Etay Elbaroud Agricultural Research Station, Behera Governorate. Performance of the machine was evaluated under four forward speeds (0.6, 0.9, 1.2and 1.5 km/h) and three seedling spaces (27, 37and 47 cm). The results indicated evaluated that the highest value of longitudinal scattering and transverse scattering were 4.1 and 3.7 cm at forward speed of 1.5 km/h. While the highest value of energy consumption and transplanting efficiency were 26.49 kW.h/fed and 94.1% at forward speed of 0.6 km/h. On the other hand, missing, floating and dead seedlings increased as forward speed and seedlings spacing increased. The highest values of missing, floating and dead seedlings were 3.8, 3.5 and 3.7% at forward speed of 1.5 km/h and at seedling space 47 cm.
