Abstract

In order to solve the problem that the seeding method of radish is still manually dibble seeding or drilling by simple machinery to realize large-scale cultivation of the radish and reduce its labor input and improve operation efficiency, a precision radish seeder used to large-scale plant radishes was to be developed. It adopt the suction principle to realize precise dibble seeding of radish. It can be done either in ridge, ditching, sowing, covering soil and plastic suppression operation. Field tests have proved that the seeder is stable seeding performance and good sowing uniformity and sowing depth coherence, so it meets the radishes grown agricultural requirements.
