Studying the movement of fertilizers in the fertilizer spreader

Abstract

The article presents the results of the study to substantiate the angle of the vertical installation of the fertilizer spreader, which localizes the fertilizer between the rows of cotton. Based on the results obtained, a working body is developed for mixing organic and mineral fertilizers during intercropping. The movement of the fertilizer pieces along the X and Y axes was studied. The coordinates of the fertilizer pieces’ landing point on the working surface of the fertilizer spreader, their velocities, and motion equations of the fertilizer pieces in the next jump were created. As a result, the cotton grows equally and yields a good harvest. The movement of the fertilizer pieces and the movement and distribution of the fertilizer spreader along the working surface are studied. It was found that the vertical mounting angle of the fertilizer could be ɛ = 18˚.
