Determination of Performance of No-Till Seeder and Stubble Cutting Prototype

One of the most common problems in maize production is management plant residues. Small agricultural enterprises, which cannot allocate capital for acquiring stalk cutting machines their operation, face many technical preparing sowing bed products that will be planted after maize. Stalks shredded adequately and on time cause machinery to clog, prevent preparation a proper bed, increase fuel consumption costs. The aim this study compare no-till machine prototype with classical cutter terms some values. stubble used was manufactured cylindrical structure equipped 24 blades 1 cm thick 8 wide. ?n addition, seeder as bucket-type seed hopper granular fertilizer capable four rows. It concluded prototypes resulted less lower penetration resistance when compared shredder.
