Abstract

In order to realize large-scale cultivation of the cyperus esculentus, reduce its labor input and meet precision sowing requirement, a precision pneumatic cyperus esculentus filming seeder was to be developed. Physical characteristics of the cyperus esculentus seeds was to be calculated and analyed for optimization design seeder structure. Through field test, the variation coefficient of each row and space between the plants of seeder meets agronomic requirements. Qualified rate of sowing depth is 90%.

Keywords:
