Abstract
The authors consider the design of a ridge seeder in the article, the practical implementation of which will allow the machine and tractor unit to perform pre-sowing cultivation for one pass, sowing seeds in a moist soil on a compacted bed, form a soil ridge of a required size over the seeds and roll it on three sides, finally forming the soil crest with a required size and density. The authors have also substantiated the design features and operation parameters of the working bodies of the ridge seeder.
Highlights
The initial element of any cultivation technology of row crops is the preparation of the topsoil of required quality to ensure satisfactory conditions for seed germination and the subsequent development of cultivated plants
Having analyzed the existing technologies of pre-sowing tillage and ridge sowing of row crops, one can make a conclusion that when sowing, the soil ridges are formed by various technical means with active and passive working bodies, in particular, with flat discs
The geometric dimensions of the soil hillock depend on the diameter d of flat discs, their angle of attack, the depth h of their movement in the soil, and the speed of movement v of the ridge seeder
Summary
The initial element of any cultivation technology of row crops is the preparation of the topsoil of required quality to ensure satisfactory conditions for seed germination and the subsequent development of cultivated plants. The use of agricultural machines of higher technical and technological levels is one of the important requirements for the successful implementation of the ridge cultivation technology of row crops, making it possible to radically change the traditional technologies of tillage and seeding. Having analyzed the existing technologies of pre-sowing tillage and ridge sowing of row crops, one can make a conclusion that when sowing, the soil ridges are formed by various technical means with active and passive working bodies, in particular, with flat discs. The problem of high-quality formation of soil ridges by flat discs is not sufficiently studied and solved, it is necessary to substantiate the optimal design and operating parameters of a new ridge seeder equipped with such working bodies
