Abstract:In order to attain better utilization and a high diffusion rate of fertilizer drill on late-summer sowing cultivation of wheat, a pneumatic fertilizer drill was designed and built for evaluation trial. The results obtained are summarized as follows: multi-row seeding experiments with 250 mm row spacing for hard wheat on upland field were conducted; working performance of a pneumatic fertilizer drill had an effective operation capacity of 0.80 ha/h and a field operation capacity of 0.32 ha/h using working width of 2.5 m at ground speed of 0.91 m/s, and yields of wheat were found to be 24.2 to 38.7 kg/a for 275 to 451 plants/m2 of spikes under a seeding rate of 8 to 16 kg/10a.
