Precision agriculture is the application of technologies and principles to manage spatial and temporal variability associated with all aspects of agricultural production for the purpose of improving crop performance and environmental quality. Success in precision agriculture is related to how well it can be applied to assess, manage, and evaluate the space-time continuum in crop production. This theme is used here to assess the manual capabilities in precision agriculture. The cam mechanized system in the machine helps in proper metering of seeds and thus further reduces the losses. The precision planters of different crops is progressing in the country, however we are preparing a new mechanism for groundnut. The physical properties of groundnut were found by using the vernier calliper and electrical balance. The measured properties are length, width, thickness, sphericity, bulk density etc and its values are 13.4 cm, 8.02 cm, 8.14 cm and 0.69, 686.671 kg/m3 respectively. Based on physical dimensions of groundnut, the metering plate was made up of wood in a rectangular shape with a length of 8cm, thickness of 1.5 cm and width 5 cm. The metering plate has drilled holes with a diameter of 1.5 cm. The metering shaft was made up of stainless steel with the thickness of 0.5cm and length of 22 cm which was drilled to the metering plate. Attach the spring to the metering shaft with a voucher of 0.5 cm diameters. The seed metering machine have a metallic frame of 52 cm×35 cm attached to the ground wheel of diameter 39 cm with a shaft of 1.5 cm thickness having a cam connected to the shaft will push the metering shaft which were having a spring and drilled to the metering plate which was made up of wood. The Metering plate will move in a metering box by the action of cam. The cam will move by the rotation of ground wheels and that wheels will move by a manually operated. However, a missing index of 10% was noted, suggesting room for improvement in seed distribution consistency. Overall, groundnut seed damage amounted to 14% of its total weight, slightly higher than in comparable mechanisms. The size of groundnut seeds notably influenced this damage.
