Abstract

One of the main problems when sowing seeds of small-seeded crops is their injury, as a result of which the yield decreases. The aim of the scientific work is to increase the efficiency of the production of small-seeded crops by reducing seed injury through the use of a modernized seeder. A new constructive-technological scheme of the sowing apparatus of a seeder for sowing small-seed crops has been developed, the principle of operation of which is based on the use of electron-ion technologies of an electrostatic field through friction electrification. The proposed sowing machine is designed to improve the technology and technical means for growing smallseed crops. Experimental studies were carried out according to standard methods, taking into account the fact that in order to improve the design of sowing machines, it is necessary to consider holistically the quality of the device itself with the distribution of seeds in the soil, and the results were processed using a PC. The possibility of reducing the energy intensity of sowing seeds by reducing the traction resistance of the tractor has been established. Thus, the use of a modernized seeder contributed to a decrease in traction resistance by 13%. As a result of the research, it was found that when sowing seeds with a modernized seeder using electrification, contact with foreign objects is reduced, and, consequently, their injury is reduced by almost 30 times. Due to this, the yield of sown crops increases by an average of 10-11%.
