  • Description: Sericulture is the process of farming silkworms to cultivate silk from it. In sericulture the silkworms are fed by mulberry leaves. The major problem in this field is cultivation and cutting of mulberry plants. More manpower is required to cut the mulberry plants and carry them to the silkworm shed. Also, it needs more time. This project "Farmer's friendly mulberry plant cutter" gives solution for the above-mentioned problems. The project is designed with a movable holder or arm and a rotating cutter. Initially the arm will hold the mulberry plant and the cutter starts to cut the plant. The plant cutter comprises of a storage area to store the plants. The arm holding the plant will drop the plant in the storage area. The entire plant cutter should be moved manually to locate the plant properly. The holding and cutting process are automated.
