A Soil Tiller and Weeder Implement

Patent Number: PH-1-2020-050505

Patent Title: A Soil Tiller and Weeder Implement

Description

The Soil Tiller and Weeder Implement is relevant to soil preparation for rice planting. This Implement is used to: (1) remove and cut weed effectively, and (2) pulverize and plow the soil appropriately to attain the required depth of soil for planting. The implement comprises of a tilling wheel and a weeder assembly. The tilling wheel further comprises a pair of side plates, a plurality of tilling bars, and a shaft. The side plates are adapted to secure the components of the soil tiller and weeder implement. The side plates consist of a center portion and an outer portion. The outer portion of the side plates are paired through the tilling bars. The tilling bars having end portions are circumferentially attached to the side plates, wherein the end portions of the tilling bars are steadily connected to the circumference of the side plates. The tilling bars blend and break the soil subject for planting. The weeder assembly comprises of a plurality of weeder blades. The weeder blades are arranged radially from the shaft of the tilling wheel. The weeder blades are fixedly connected to the shaft.

​Innovative Features and Benefits:

One method of lowland tillage is the use of a floating tiller. The floating tiller is suitable for waterlogged as well as normal field conditions for rice planting. The disadvantage of the existing floating tiller is that it needs to run through several passes before the soil is tilled properly or the weed is removed. It takes three passes to prepare the land for leveling and ready for planting. These procedures of land preparation consume time, increase the cost of production, exhaust much effort for the farmers, and require more than one machine to operate the land.

Here are the features and benefits of the Soil Tiller and Weeder Implement:

• A system that takes only two passes to prepare the land for leveling and planting;
• Reduces land preparation cost and time-saving for rice production;
• Pulverizes the soil and attains the required depth of soil; and
• Removes and cuts the weeds efficiently.

Business Development Opportunity:

This technology has potential marketability. With the vast areas of rice fields in the country, there is a greater demand for the use of the Soil Tiller and Weeder Implement. There are groups of farmers and manufacturers who already showed interest in the design of the Implement

Applications:

Land preparation is important to ensure that the rice field is ready for planting. This is important for effective weed control and for enriching the soil. The Soil and Weeder Implement is configured to reduce land preparation costs and save time for rice production. The Implement takes only two passes to prepare the land for leveling and planting. It is highly recommended in tilling and weeding since it tills the soil effectively, pulverizes the soil appropriately, attains the required depth of soil, and removes and cuts the weeds efficiently. In comparison with the existing floating tiller, this Implement is much more efficient, effective, practical, and adaptable and provides the best performance in two-pass land preparation.
