Dehusking and shelling are important post-harvest activities in maize crop, predominantly done by women. These activities involve a lot of drudgery as these are done manually. Though hand operated maize sheller has somewhat eased the pressure on women, maize shelling with the tool still makes women's lives difficult and yields very low level of output. Moreover, dehusking as a separate activity precedes shelling that brings additional burden on women.

It is suitable for spraying chemicals in orchards like grapes, citrus, pomegranate etc. It consists of an HTP (horizontal triplex piston) pump, trailed type main chassis with transport wheels, chemical tank with hydraulic agitation system, cut-off device and boom equipped with turbo nozzles. It is fitted with turbo nozzles operating at a pressure of 883-1766 kPa and generates droplets of 100-150 micron in size. The orientation of booms can be adjusted depending upon the plant size and their row spacing. The spray booms are mounted behind the operator. The boom covers half of the tree canopy on either side of the sprayer. It costs Rs. 60, 000- and can cover 0.40-0.70 hah at forward speed of 1.20-1.50 kmh.

In this drill provision for two sets of furrow openers is given, the front set is narrower than the rear set. The rear set of furrow opener also performs as ridge stabilizer. The machine is capable of sowing 0.7 hectares of land in just one hour. The three point linkage design of the machine is as per the category III of OECD standards. It can be operated with 50 PTO HP tractors. High carbon steel is used for making different components of the machine.

Medicinal Plants : pepper, cardamom, clove, ginger, turmeric, betelvine, periwinkle, Rauvolfia, Dioscorea, isabgol, Ammi majus, belladonna, Cinchona, pyrethrum and other species relevant to local conditions. Aromatic Plants : Citronella grass, khus grass, sweet flag (bach), lavender, geranium, patchouli, bursera, Mentha, muskdana (musk mallow), Ocimum and other species relevant to the local conditions. Endangered medicinal and aromatic plants of India and their conservation. Study of chemical composition of a few important medicinal and aromatic plants, their extraction and use. Therapeutic and pharmaceutical uses of important species.

a new machine designed and developed by Ludhiana based Central Institute of Post Harvest Engineering and Technology (CIPHET) is a mechanical and continuous system for processing of whole pomegranate of any size, shape and variety; and for recovery of clean, whole and undamaged arils. The machine is capable to process the whole pomegranate at a rate of approximately 5.0 q per hour with extraction capacity of 90-94% and with little damage of arils that is about 1-2%.The Pomegranate breaking and arils separation mechanism is highly efficient with little damage and waste, said Dr R T Patil, Director, CIPHET. He further added, peels and other extraneous matter are separated out and yielding clean arils that can be used for further processing or for fresh eating.
