Three Line Nipping Machine
The Need :
In many of the crops and plants, excessive branching can reduce the overall crop yield. Also other harmful growths like weeds can extract the essential nutrients from healthy crops thereby reducing productivity. It is therefore essential to cut down these unwanted and excessive growths in plants. Currently trimming/cutting is done manually which is laborious and time consuming. There is need for a faster and more efficient solution for getting rid of this problem.
