Theoretical substantiation of the design of the opener of the beet seeder

Abstract

Compliance with the sowing technology is the basis for the cultivation of any agricultural crop, since the yield and product quality, material and monetary costs, the seeding rate, the area of plant nutrition, as well as the design features of the machines used, depend on it. When sowing sugar beet, this issue is most relevant because recently, the sowing of this crop has undergone major changes. Most of the seeds used in Russia are both granulated and single-sprout. The seeding rate is set at the final density and, therefore, a delay in the growth of individual plants is not permissible. In this regard, serious requirements are imposed on the design of the seed sowing apparatus, one of the indicators of which is to ensure the placement of seeds on the loose bottom of the sowing furrow, backfilling it with soil from above with subsequent compaction creates unfavorable conditions for seed germination.
