Parameters and modes of a hydraulic mini seeder operation for small-seeded vegetable crops

Introduction. In the area of sowing with water and suspensions, there has been observed the trend of the development of hydroseeding lawn grass. The direction is less studied for sowing small seeds (germinated and sprouted) of vegetables. Existing works are mainly aimed at substinating the sowing of germinated seeds of watermelons, pumpkins, cucumbers and tobacco. At the same time, there are no studies for hydroseeding of carrot, parsley, dill, lettuce, tomatoes and celery seeds. Thus, theoretical research aimed at substantiating the method and technical solutions for sowing small-seeded crops in open and closed ground conditions are relevant. The problem is the lack of constructive-technological scheme of the tank for formation of sowing mixture of small-seeded crops, design and mode parameters of hydraulic mini seeder for sowing in drills to increase the efficiency of sowing. Aim of the Study. The study is aimed at optimizing parameters and modes for operation of a hydraulic mini seeder for sowing in drills.
