Design and testing of a Pinellia ternata seeder

Abstract

At present, the degree of mechanization of Pinellia ternata seeding is low, and mainly adopts manual spot seeding, which is difficult to accurately control the spacing between rows and plants, and at the same time, it is very easy to cause inconsistency in the depth of seeding and other problems, which affects the quality of seeding and yield of Pinellia ternata. Based on the agronomic requirements of Pinellia ternata planting, this paper designs a Pinellia ternata seeder that integrates screw leveling, precision seeding, furrowing and fertilizer application, mulching and compression, etc., and is capable of realizing the adjustment of plant spacing, row spacing and sowing depth of Pinellia ternata seeding.
