"Driving Sustainable Agriculture with the #Stubble Removing Machine – An Innovation by iHub - AWaDH @ IIT Ropar"
iHub – AWaDH, established at IIT Ropar under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (#NMICPS), DST, Government of India, is driving deep-tech innovation in #agriculture, #water, #IoT, and #cyberphysicalsystems. With ₹110 Cr in funding, we are committed to fostering technology-driven solutions for sustainable and efficient farming.
A tractor-mounted, high-capacity innovation, the Stubble Removing Machine is designed to tackle the persistent challenge of stubble management in a cost-effective, efficient, and eco-friendly manner. It not only enhances agricultural productivity but also significantly mitigates the environmental hazards associated with stubble burning.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Eco-Friendly & Sustainable – Eliminates the need for stubble burning, reducing air pollution and preserving soil nutrients.
✅ Efficient Stubble Cutting & Collection – Cuts stubble down to a few centimeters and automatically loads it into a trolley, minimizing labor and fuel costs.
✅ Cost-Effective & Fuel Efficient – Operates with just 1-1.5 liters of fuel per acre, significantly lowering operational expenses.
✅ Versatile & High-Capacity – Covers 1 acre per hour with an adjustable 6-8 feet working width, suitable for both rice and wheat stubble.
✅ Robust & Durable Construction – Built with a heavy-duty mild steel frame, ensuring longevity with minimal maintenance.
✅ User-Friendly Design – Requires only a single operator and integrates seamlessly with 40-60 HP tractors.
Impact on Agriculture & Environment
* Enhances soil health by retaining essential nutrients.
* Prepares fields efficiently for the next crop cycle.
* Supports environmental sustainability by significantly reducing emissions from stubble burning.
This innovation represents a significant step toward modern, sustainable, and technology-driven agriculture. By addressing key challenges in stubble management, we aim to enhance productivity, improve environmental outcomes, and support the farming community.
