When the potato planter works on sloping field, it will cause problems such as poor film mulching quality due to difference in volume of soil covering both sides discs and inconvenient adjustment disc. The device with linkage differential was designed improve quality. main research content includes explaining structure principle analyzing structural parameters mechanism. field experiment comple...

Furrow formation is one of the most labor-intensive operations in potato cultivation technology. The article discusses justification and determination furrower parameters planter. Analytical dependences height junction point disks width furrow bottom are obtained, taking into account technological parameters, its design features physical mechanical properties soil. Potatoes planted usual way. m...

optimum working life of tractor and farm machinery employed in potato production in hamadan province was assessed through data envelopment analysis. an input oriented model was applied to determine the optimized machinery system. in this model inputs were the lifetime of tractor as well as seven involved machines including moldboard plow, potato planter, chemical fertilizer spreader, tractor mo...

Abstract The article describes the device and technological process of operation a potato planter equipped with disk designed for use in low-contour areas. results experimental studies to determine quality indicators its work field are also presented. authors propose which is simple design compact, less metal-intensive, easy manufacture, has ability it both small-circuit relatively large areas,...

An opto-electronic seed spacing evaluation system that measured time intervals between seeds and detected frontto-back location of seed drop events relative to the planter was used to rapidly determine planter seed spacing uniformity in the laboratory. The seed detection sensor for the opto-electronic system consisted of a rectangular photogate with 24 phototransistors receiving light beams fro...

Abstract—Gladiolus is an important cash crop and is grown mainly for its elegant spikes. Traditionally the gladiolus corms are planted manually which is very tedious, time consuming and labor intensive operation. So far, there is no planter available for planting of gladiolus corms. With a view to mechanize the planting operation of this horticultural crop, a prototype of 4-row gladiolus plante...
