Development of a Single-Row Ear Seeder Equipped with a Disk-Cassette Sowing Device

Abstract. The technique of seed sowing using ears plays a crucial role in the cultivation, selection, and propagation new grain crop varieties. It offers distinct advantages over traditional methods, as it provides higher guarantee varietal purity. (Research purpose) objectives this research are twofold: first, to design develop prototype single-row seeder equipped with disk cassette device, specifically tailored for ear breeding nurseries crops; second, assess performance parameters device agrotechnical indicators entire technological process. (Materials methods) A schematic diagram disk-cassette has been proposed. specifications were obtained through calculations. Additionally, methodology conducting laboratory field testing experimental sample developed. (Results discussion) developed manufactured. functionality have evaluated verified. effectiveness reliability assessed tests, during Ivita winter wheat. These tests enabled determination key (Conclusions) optimal determined, which include diameter 27 centimeters, an average circle containing cells seeded material 21 total 16 cells, each inner 3 centimeters length 15 centimeters. formula was derived establish correlation between seeding density seeder. Field experiments conducted provided data on various relevant implementation Specifically, measurements revealed that distance pass recorded 29.5 30.8 respective coulter travel depth settings 3.5 5 Furthermore, actual furrow found be 4 corresponding settings, while width bottom measured at 6
