Effect of Different Seed Drill Covering Devices on Forage Sorghum Seed Emergence and Machine Performance
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
An experiment was conducted in the farm of College of Agricultural Studies - Sudan University of Science and Technology-Sudan, to study the effect of different types of covering devices on the performance of grain seed drill and seed emergence. The type of soil at the farm is considered as a light clay soil. The experiment was carried out with a mounted Seed drill with four units assembled locally by GIAD factory – Sudan in order to study the effect of four seed covering devices (notched double disk followed by two small scrapers (CD1), notched double disk (CD2), two small scrapers followed by rubber wheel (CD3) and small scrappers type (CD4) on planter slippage, field capacity, fuel consumption, and seed emergence percentage. The results showed that, the differences in field capacity, wheel slippage and seedling emergence between different covering devices were statistically significant (P0.05), while the fuel consumption showed a significant difference between the treatments.
