Drill and crop performances as affected by different drill configurations for no-till seeding

Soil and Tillage Research, 2004
Abstract No-till farming can reduce soil erosion, conserve soil moisture and minimize labor and fuel consumption. A 2-year field trial of seeding wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.), and corn ( Zea mays L.) and soybeans ( Glycine max [L.] Merr) with a low disturbance no-till drill was conducted on clay loam soils with three different stubble conditions ...

No-Till Drill Planting of Texas bluegrass: On the Southern Plains

Native Plants Journal, 2012
Combining the use of a flail-vac harvester, a hammer mill, and the Woodward WW2000 cleaner, Texas bluegrass ( Poa arachnifera Torr. [Poaceae]) seeds were successfully harvested, cleaned, and planted with a no-till drill at Woodward, Oklahoma. Texas bluegrass is one of only a few native, cool-season perennial grasses that withstand the region’s heat ...

A comparison of broadcast and drill methods for no-till seeding winter wheat

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1992
No-till seeding into standing stubble of a previous crop is required to provide a trap for snow that protects overwintering wheat from low temperature extremes experienced in most of western Canada. In this production system, the optimum winter wheat seeding date often conflicts with spring crop harvest.

EFFECT OF RESIDUE MANAGEMENT METHODS ON NO-TILL DRILL PERFORMANCE

Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 2006
Excessive crop residue on the soil surface impedes drill performance and subsequent crop production in conservation tillage systems. To address this issue, 10 different residue management strategies were evaluated to determine their effect on no-till drill performance in terms of seedling establishment, early plant vigor, and crop yield.

No-Till Drill Design for Atrazine Treated Soils

Transactions of the ASAE, 1986
A no-till cereal grain drill was designed to enable use of the herbicide atrazine at high application rates to control weeds in wheat. Modified hoe openers moved atrazine treated soil and weed seed from the row leaving a herbicide free zone in which wheat could germinate and grow. Atrazine was concentrated between the rows to control weeds.

Performance Evaluation of Spatially Modified No-Till Drill under Different Field Conditions

Journal of Agricultural Engineering (India), 2014
A major problem in sowing wheat crop under no-tillage condition in combine harvested paddy fields is the frequent choking of no-till drill machine due to long loose paddy straw lying in the windrows. Effective residue management requires both straw and chaff to be finely chopped and evenly spread over the entire cutting width of combine.

Straw Management with Spatially Modified No-Till Drill in Combine Harvested Rice Field

Journal of Agricultural Engineering (India), 2007
In rice-wheat crop rotation, the loose straw left after harvesting by combines results in frequent choking of the drill. A No-till drill with straw thrower assembly was developed to sow directly in combine harvested paddy field. Field evaluation of machine was done to optimize its performance affected by the various independent parameters Le.

Multilocation Field Performance of Strip-till Drill on Wheat Crop

Journal of Agricultural Engineering (India), 2001
A tractor drawn strip-till drill has been developed for successful adoption of the minimum till technology by the farmers for sowing wheat under Indian conditions. This machine has been extensively tested at research farms of P.A.U., Ludhiana and at farmers' fields. There is no reduction in yield.

Comparison of six zero-till seed drill openers for establishment and persistence of sod-seeded alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in a cool-season perennial grass pasture

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 2022
Zero-till seed drills are readily available for crop seeding in the prairie region of western Canada but have not been evaluated for sod-seeding in perennial forage. Sod-seeding a legume, such as alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), into the existing perennial grass vegetation improves forage yield and quality for ruminant livestock grazing and production ...

DRILL FURROW OPENER EFFECTS ON WHEAT AND SORGHUM ESTABLISHMENT IN NO-TILL FIELDS

Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 2004
Further investigations on no-till openers are needed to better understand their effects on crop performance. Five different furrow opener points on shank-type drill units, a triple-disc opener, and three types of presswheels were evaluated in terms of wheat and grain sorghum stand establishment and early plant height, for the no-till field conditions
