Abstract

This review paper reveals the best design of harvester for farming a leafy vegetable. In a farming of lettuce, spinach, and baby leaf type leafy vegetables harvesting is by manually is bottle-neck work. And there will be the loss of time and money in harvesting the vegetables, as well as more cost is spent on the workers. And more amount of wastage of vegetable occurs in manual farming process.so for lowering the wastage as well as time and money harvester is modelled for vegetable production. harvester consist of the cutting blade which cut the vegetable head at perfect location. And then this cut vegetable is lifted in container by using conveyor. A cutting equipment band saw belt is used and transport belt is driven by the electric power .so we used the power unit for this harvester. For cutting and lifting purpose 12V DC motor will be used. Motion of this harvester manually. There is a facility to position the cutter height according to the, type of vegetable.
