Abstract
A variety of activities such as to sow seeds, to cut weeds and unwanted plants are performed in the fields on daily basis. The existing methods to do sowing, plowing and weed cutting are very time consuming and very hard to perform. The machinery which is used for seed sowing is very heavy and very hard handle. To solve all these complicated problems, we have developed equipment such that the seeding will be done at uniform distancing using the BOT. We have used the Arduino microcontroller, sensors, high rpm motors, drivers and controllers for designing of BOT. The BOT will follow upon the required lines for sowing. The BOT will be connected to the mobile interface for its controlling. The BOT will also collect the moisture level and <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{p H}$</tex> level of soil and report will be sent online on mobile app for further actions. So, the mechanism will be developed for automatizing the seeding and monitoring of the field for different actions like assignation and adding the organic nutrients to the soils in the field.
