A power operated pulse reaper was developed at OUAT, Bhubaneswar and evaluated in farmer’s field for harvesting green gram. The performance of the developed reaper was studied for 3 different varieties of green gram namely OUM-11-5, PDM-54 and Local at three machine speed (1.8, 2.3 and 2.8 km/h). The highest effective field capacity of 0.248 ha/h was observed at 2.8 km/h speed while the lowest of 0.161 ha/h at 1.8 km/h for the local variety. The highest field efficiency was found to be 81.38% for OUM-11-5 variety at 2.8 km/h speed while lowest field efficiency was 78.61% for PDM-54 at the same speed of 2.80 km/h. The cost of harvesting with this machine was found to be Rs 625/ha as compared to Rs 3100 /ha in traditional method of manual harvesting by using local sickle and Rs 5000/ha by manual uprooting.
