The aim of this course is to to give students all information for sowing, managing seed bed condition, hoeing, planting and fertilizing machine with that student should be able to design machines. For this purpose, first agro-technical and second constructive principles of machines are taught.
Seeding Techniques and machines: Biomechanics of germination, Agro-technical fundamentals of drilling, mathematical and statistical fundamentals of different drilling systems, planter systems; seed tube, coulters, press wheel and closing, wheels, disc-coulters, Preparing the stability seeders in tractor, seeder combinations • Arranging biotope- Machines and Techniques of Hoeing: Production techniques of thinning, singling and without thinning; Hoeing techniques and machines; Techniques of undercover production • Transplanting Machines, Drilling Machines, Drilling Techniques: Techniques of transplanting; plant conditioning and sprouting techniques; theory of transplanting techniques and machines, Potato tuber transplanting machines • Fertilizing Machines: physico-mechanical properties of fertilizers and manures, principles of fertilizing and manuring, Construction of fertilizer machines, farm yard manure spreader, slurry and solid mineral fertilizer spreaders • Application of precision farming in drilling, fertilizing and weed control
