A concept design of a carrot seeder, filed for patent application, was successfully developed in this study. Farmers were visited and interviewed the data regarding their existing practices planting carrots, corresponding tools equipment requirements such as hill spacing, row spacing plant bed size gathered. These used input preparation simulation seeder with aid Solidworks software.

For the issues of poor stability furrow opener depth, large soil backfill and inconsistent shape on a no-till seeder for planting green manure between rows orchards in South Xinjiang, double-disc, corrugated is designed. This paper analyzes law movement double-disc traditional openers using discrete element method (DEM) concludes that corrugation width number corrugations are primary factors af...

In direct seeding systems, soil strength variability and crop residues increase the difficulty of seeding operation. Especially when trying to achieve uniform seeding depth that will result in reliable seed germination and plant emergence. An advanced improvement has been accomplished using direct seeding systems. However, some problems still exist in soil-machine interaction due to various rea...

Aiming to solve the problems of easy generation clods, poor soil fluidity and soil-covering effect in no-tillage seeding operation mode, this study has designed a device with soil-closing function for chisel-type furrow opener corn planter. Theoretical analysis design dividing plate disc were carried out, key parameters determined. Then, movement model was constructed Altair EDEM, spatial parti...

stand establishment in crusting soil is one of the main concerns in the production of crops with delicate seedlings such as cotton, onions and rape seed. crust breaking, maintaining soil moisture and adding chemical and organic amendments to soil are different methods to weaken soil strength and allow the shoots to emerge. these methods are not always successful because they depend on factors s...
