During spring maize production, nitrogen is lost in the form of gaseous N because of shallow
fertilizer application, which leads to a low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, the …

Enhancing the uniformity of fertilizer particles flow is crucial in fertilizer discharge device
research, and the analysis of particle motion process contributes to improving fertilization …

Fertilizer particles have strong hygroscopicity and agglomeration often occurs during their
storage, which leads to a blocked phenomenon during the operation of the external grooved …

Agricultural unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are a new type of fertilizer application
technology, have been rapidly developed internationally. This study combines the …

Overuse of fertilizer is detrimental to the sustainability of crop production from an economic
and environmental perspective. While rice side-deep fertilization technology can …

In view of the problems of a poor seed-filling state and poor seed-cleaning effect of a
precision metering device under high-speed working conditions, an inside-filling air-assisted …

The pulsation caused by traditional straight-tooth grooved wheels reduces the uniformity of
distribution. To improve this, this paper uses the discrete element method to conduct …

In present-day mechanized garlic seeding, high missing rates and low qualified percentages
of single seeds are common problems; thus, a finger clip plate garlic seed-metering device …

The interaction properties of the seeds have to be calibrated to simulate the realistic
behavior of the seed bulk. Here, a simple and accurate calibration method of DEM …

The hole forming device is an important element of the buckwheat hill-drop planter, and its
design level directly affects the seeding quality of the hill-drop planter. A hole forming device …
