Module 7: Planting Equipment Flashcards
a mech device used to meter and place seeds or plants in the soil for crop production
planting equipment
2 main types of planting equipment
- seeders
- planters
2 main types of planting equipment
used for generative reproduction of crops; deposits seeds into the soil
seeders
2 main types of planting equipment
used for vegetative reproduction of crops; deposit whole small plants or parts of plants into the soil
planters
4 seeding patterns
- broadcasting
- drill seeding
- precision planting
- hill dropping
seeding patterns
random scattering of seeds over the surface of the field
broadcasting
seeding patterns
random dropping and covering of the seeds in furrows to give definite rows
drill seeding
seeding patterns
accurate placing of single seeds at about equal intervals in rows
precision planting
seeding patterns
placing groups of seeds at bout equal intervals in rows
hill dropping
2 planting systems
solid planting
row crop planting
planting systems
spacing between rows or planting beds does not permit the entry of machinery for intertilling and other cultural practices
solid planting
planting systems
rows or planting beds are far enough to permit the entry of machinery between rows for intertilling and other cultural practices
row crop planting
planting systems
broadcasting and drill seeding are examples of row crop planting
true or false
false; these are examples of row crop planting
seeder classification according to power source
- manually operated / hand seeder
- animal drawn seeder
- tractor power driven seeder
seeder classification according to power source
type of seeder which deposits the seeds in holes with spacing set by the operator
manually operated / hand seeder
examples of manually operated / hand seeder
- single row push type seeder
- rice drum seeder
- animal-drawn seeder
seeder classification according to power source
has metering mechanisms driven by the ground wheels or by power take-off from a tractor
tractor power driven seeder
drills and deposits the seeds at a specified rate and depth and in narrow-spaced rows
drill planter / seed drill
a drill planter / seed drill can deposit the seeds in hills or even in check rows
true or false
false; it cannot do that
seeder classification according to power source - tractor power driven seeder
a drill planter / seed drill designed to plant seeds continuously in rows with row spacing greater than 36 cm
row-crop drill planter
seeder classification according to power source - tractor power driven seeder
a drill planter / seed drill designed to plant seeds continously in rows with row spacing less than 36 cm
solid drill planter
seeder classification according to power source - tractor power driven seeder
deposit the seeds at a specified rate in hills and rows and also functions as a seed drill if required
row crop seeder/planter
seeder classification according to power source - tractor power driven seeder
designed to plant seeds in rows far enough apart to permit the subsequent entry of machinery (inter-row cultivation)
row crop seeder/planter
seeder classification according to power source - tractor power driven seeder
a row crop seeder/planter designed to deposit one or more seeds in a hill at equal intervals
hill drop seeder/planter
seeder classification according to power source - tractor power driven seeder
a row crop seeder/planter enables operator to perform hill planting at definite spacing (in checks or squares)
check-row seeder/planter
seeder classification according to power source - tractor power driven seeder
a row crop seeder/planter facilitates mechanical weed control and other operations
check-row seeder/planter
seeder classification according to power source - tractor power driven seeder
a row crop seeder/planter designed to deposit a single seed at equal row intervals
precision seeder/planter
seeder classification according to power source - tractor power driven seeder
designed to scatter the seeds uniformly over the surface of the field without definite rows and hills
broadcaster
mech functions of a seeder/planter
make a furrow - furrow opener
meter the seeds - metering device
deposit the seeds - seed tube
cover the seeds - furrow closer
machine designed for transplanting rice seedlings into a puddled and leveled field
mechanical rice transplanter
examples of mechanical rice transplanter
- three-wheel riding type rice transplanter
- four-wheel riding type rice transplanter
- walk-behind rice transplanter
a procedure of determining the performance of a planter under the different seeding rates and row and hill spacings it is designed to operate
planter calibration
when are planters calibrated?
when newly acquired and at regular intervals
local agmech techs
this low -cost machine was developed for row seeding of pre-germinated paddy on puddled soils
IRRI drum seeder
local agmech techs
an accurate and even seed metering mechanism, utilizing a foam-pad to sow wide range of seed species without any damage
IRRI Inverted T-Seeder
