Abstract

The main aim of this research was to fabricate a weed control machine and crops furrow reconfiguration. The machine was tested inter cabbage crop, to control weeds at the early stage of the crop growth, uproots and kill weeds along the furrow sides to avoid crop seedlings damage, with more plant support and facilitate irrigation along the furrow. The cultivator was fabricated and tested in the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, AlAzhar University, Assiut. The main results were the prototype of the cultivator was heavy and was consumed more power for transmutation to move, the research work improved the power transmutation and parts size and position it. The development included the main power shaft also, which changed from fixed length to variable length (A telescopic connection) to suit the crop. The optimum kinematic index (λ2) and/or the 6 cm auger depth improved weeding efficiency. Using two augers with a ridger is more efficient than using two augers alone. The theoretical field capacity was 0.291 fed/h, actual field capacity was 0.22 fed/h and 75 % cultivator efficiency cabbage crop.
