Overview

Sowing that is even, easier and cooler.

Solar energy, battery power, controlled vibration, seed-flow management, backpack portability and shade — in one low-cost device.

The problem

Manual seed sowing is hard work

  • Uneven seed distribution
  • High manual labour requirement
  • Heat stress during field work
  • Time-consuming sowing
  • Lack of affordable agricultural machinery
The solution

A portable, solar-assisted seed sower

A low-cost, portable, solar-assisted, backpack-based system that provides controlled and relatively uniform seed distribution while improving farmer comfort.

How it works

From sunlight to seed in soil.

Vibration keeps seeds flowing; the speed control matches the sowing rate to the crop.

STEP 01

Solar panel & umbrella

The solar umbrella collects sunlight — and shades the farmer at the same time.

STEP 02

Battery activates

The rechargeable battery stores energy, useful where electricity access is limited.

STEP 03

Speed controller

An adjustable speed regulator sets the sowing rate for the crop.

STEP 04

Motor & vibration

Vibration motors start — the anti-clogging mechanism keeps seeds moving.

STEP 05

Seeds leave storage

Seeds move from the storage chamber into the flow path.

STEP 06

Dual dispensing pipes

The flow splits into two pipes for dual-row sowing.

STEP 07

Into the soil

Seeds reach the soil in a more consistent, controlled way.
