Multi-Criteria Optimization of a Four-Bar Linkage Vibratory Mechanism for Mechanized Uprooting of Sida (Bala)
Harvesting of Sida (Bala), a medicinal crop with a deep taproot system, is mainly performed manually. This method requires considerable labour, results in low field efficiency, and often leads to root damage, particularly in compact or hard soils. To overcome these challenges, the present work examines the design and o...
