Abstract
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereal crop in the world. It is also an important staple food in many countries of the world. In Gujarat, maize is widely grown by the farmers for human as well as animal consumption. Most of the techniques have been introduced by researchers for shelling of maize crop by various tools and machines like hand operated maize shellers, pedal operated maize shellers and tractor PTO operated threshers. The first two shellers are feasible when very small quantity of maize cobs are to be shelled. On other hand, the tractor operated threshers are feasible when the maize cobs are collected from one hectare or more area. So, for the maize growing farmers who have limited land holdings need to develop an easy and economical shelling machine for maize crop. A low cost electric motor operated maize sheller was designed and developed at College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Anand Agricu...
