Abstract

In this study, a manually-operated mechanical dry corn picker utilizing bucket conveyor is designed and developed using locally available materials. This post-harvest device will help farmers in reducing of labor, time and cost in collecting dry corn during solar drying, hence, improving the production efficiency. Evaluation of the acceptability of the device in terms of functionality, safety, structure and efficiency was shown to be acceptable as assessed by randomly selected respondents.
