Agriculture process includes Ploughing, Planting, Watering, Weeding, Harvesting and Delivery. Among different methods of weed controls in agricultural crops, mechanical control has a special place from the viewpoint of its effectiveness, feasibility and flexibility. The development of appropriate mechanized weeding control is a need for increasing productivity and reducing the production cost. The primary purpose of ploughing is to turn over the upper layer of the soil, bringing fresh nutrients to the surface, while burying weeds and the remains of previous crops and allowing them to break down. Ploughs were initially human-powered, but the process became considerably more efficient once animals were pressed into service. The first animal-powered ploughs were undoubtedly pulled by oxen, and later in many areas by horses In industrialised countries, the first mechanical means of pulling a plough were steam-powered but these were gradually superseded by internal-combustion-powered tractors. In this paper Ergonomic Semi-Automated motorised cultivator for agriculture purpose is designed which is be able to plough in 15 inches gap distance in irrigation fields where cattle�s find difficult to pass through. In addition, fertilizer sprayer and pesticide spreader is provided as add on features. The cultivator is designed as per farmers feedback and requirement.
