Abstract - The trans planter is powered by a solar panel, making it eco-friendly and cost-effective. The paper pod trans planter is comprised of a hopper that stores paper pods, a seedling dispenser that drops seedlings into the paper pods, and a transfer mechanism that moves the paper pods to the field. The paper pods used in the trans planter are made of biodegradable material, making them environmentally friendly. The use of paper pods eliminates the need for plastic bags or other non-biodegradable materials typically used in the transplanting process. The trans planter is designed to be easily operated and maintained by farmers, reducing the need for specialized training. The solar-powered operation also eliminates the need for fuel, making it a sustainable option for farmers. Overall, the solar-operated paper pod trans planter offers a sustainable and efficient solution to the labor-intensive process of transplanting rice seedlings. It reduces the time and effort required for the transplanting process, while also being eco-friendly and cost-effective.
