The Main Directions of Improvement of Sowing Disks of Units for Joint Sowing of Two Crops

Abstract

This article describes the design of an experimental sowing disk for joint sowing of corn and sorghum seeds. The results of laboratory studies are presented and the need to improve the sowing disk and its individual elements is justified. A patent search for sowing machines and sowing disks was carried out in order to analyze and further synthesize the best solutions for the development of new designs of a sowing machine and a sowing disk for joint crops. The necessity of conducting research on further improvement of the disk elements in order to increase its reliability is substantiated.
