Technology of the discator strip seeding. Condition, prospects

Abstract

The article is devoted to the implementation of strip sowing technology with a discator working body. The strip sowing, in comparison with the existing row sowing, increases the area of seed feeding, which increases the yield of grain crops. The coulters currently used for strip sowing with the under-spreading distributor are energy intensive and prone to clogging. It is proposed to use disc spherical disc coulters with a distributor. Compact designs of disc seed drills with spherical disc openers have been developed, which can replace bulky seeding complexes. Disc seed drills combine strip sowing with mini and no-till, reducing energy consumption, increasing speeds and productivity. Providing seeds with nutritional areas of at least 10 cm2, they actually implement a new technology for sowing cereals, which can increase yields by 2-3 times compared to ordinary sowing.
