Sugarcane bud chip planting is the latest tech nique of sugarcane planting, wherein the bud along with aportion of the nodal region is chipped off and planted inprotray with FYM soil and sand. Studies on mechanisation of the planting of settlings from sugarcane buds raised in portrays were carried out at Central Institute of Agricul tural Engineering—Regional Centre, Coimbatore and
Sugarcane Breeding Institute, Coimbatore and a tractor
mounted two row mechanical planter for settlings raised
from sugarcane bud chips was developed. It consists of
mainframe which can be attached to standard three-point
hitch arrangement of a 35 hp tractor. The metering mech anism, operator’s seat, furrow openers, soil openers and
furrow closers are mounted on the main frame with nec essary supports. The optimum speed of operation was
standardized as 1.4 km/h by experimentation where the
missing percentage was 2.33 %. The field capacity of the
equipment was 0.15 ha/h. The biometric parameters viz.,
diameter of the cane, cane height, single cane weight, juice
content and yield of the mechanically planted sugarcane
settlings were on par with the manually planted sugarcane settlings. The juice quality of sugarcane from mechanically planted settling in terms of brix, CCS, sucrose and purity
was at par with sugarcane from manual planting of settlings
at the time of harvest. Cost economic analysis of planting with mechanical planter showed 40 and 85 %, saving in cost and labour, respectively over manual bud chip settling planting
