Abstract

Design of the real-time detection system based on LabVIEW for no-till seeder working performance

Highlights

  • Conservation tillage is known as “the industrial revolution of world agriculture”, which has the benefits of reducing soil erosion, increasing microbial population, reducing operating procedures and costs[1,2,3]

  • Seeding is an important operation in agricultural production, and seeding quality is a key to crop yield

  • Zhao et al.[12] designed a sowing detection system for wheat precision seeding machine based on variable distance photoelectric sensor

Summary

Introduction

Conservation tillage is known as “the industrial revolution of world agriculture”, which has the benefits of reducing soil erosion, increasing microbial population, reducing operating procedures and costs[1,2,3]. Zhao et al.[12] designed a sowing detection system for wheat precision seeding machine based on variable distance photoelectric sensor. AEE Equipment Company[14] developed a detection system for pneumatic seeder based on the infrared sensor. Nagawa et al.[15] developed a seeding detection sensor for seeding quality. The above detection systems for seeding quantity were used to the middle detection between the metering device and the opener. These systems cannot be used to detect the residue cover index. The detection system can be used to detect the seeding quality index and the residue cover index, and including the middle detection, the end detection between the opener and the furrow. The non-contact detection method that located the seed position in soil is used to the end detection, so as to reduce the error in the middle detection
