The Types of Planters

by Robert Mullins

Seeder is a planting machine. It takes crop seeds as sowing objects.

According to different sowing methods, we can divide it into seeder, drill seeder, hole seeder, precision seeder and combined seeder.

Hole seeder is a planting machine. It generates seeds into hole seeding. This is according to a certain row spacing and hole spacing. One or more seeds can be sown in each hole. Different sowing methods include single seed precision sowing and multi-seed hole sowing.

This kind of planter is used for corn, cotton, beans and other crops. Each agricultural machinery unit can complete the whole operation process. This includes ditching, seed metering, soil covering and covering.

The hole planter can be equipped with the depth limiting device of the trench opener, the earth covering device, the cover pressing wheel and other components.

The seeder is a kind of planter. It enables the scattered seeds to be distributed. This is throughout the ground of the seeding plot.

When the strip seeder operates, the walking wheel drives the seed metering wheel to rotate. The seeds in the seed box are discharged into the seed conveying pipe. This is according to the required sowing amount. The seeds fall into the trench that has been opened through the trench opener. Then the seeds are covered and compacted by the soil covering and pressing device. This kind of planter can form parallel and equidistant rows of crops after emergence.

General strip seeder is used for sowing small seeds such as grains, vegetables and pasture.

Precision seeder is a machine that sows seeds through accurate measurement. It can measure the seeding amount, row spacing and depth. This seeder saves seeds. Exemption from thinning operations after emergence. The nutrient area of each crop is uniform.

The precision seeder is provided with a hole forming mechanism between the seed metering device and the furrow opener. Single seeds that can be discharged through the seed metering device are collected into a required precise number of seed groups in the hole forming mechanism. Finally, it is sown in the seed ditch.

This type has developed some new structures. Single seeds can be sown in advance according to paper tapes fixed at certain intervals before use. Or the seeds are discharged into the seed groove from an annular rubber or plastic seed production belt hole that rotates.

As the name implies, the combined seeder is a combined operation machine and no-tillage farming machinery. It can add a fertilizer box, a fertilizer discharger and a fertilizer conveying pipe to the grain drill. This means that it can fertilize while sowing.

This is a joint operation machine that combines multiple operations. It can cultivate the soil, spray insecticides and herbicides, and spread plastic films. This kind of machine can complete the operations of soil cultivation before sowing, application of seed fertilizer, soil disinfection, opening drainage ditches, sowing, application of pesticides and herbicides, etc. at one time. This is a powerful machine.

No-tillage farming machinery can open seed ditches for sowing on the existing stubble ground. This is after the previous stubble crops are harvested. It has excellent performance in preventing soil loss and saving energy. It has a good effect on the reduction of activity cost. This kind of planter is used for sowing crops such as grains, forage grass and green forage corn.
