Precision control system of no-tillage corn planter

To solve the problem of low usage of seed and fertilizer while seeding and fertilizing, precise detection and control system of no-tillage planter was developed. According to moisture and fertility of soil, together with corn planting agronomy, seed distance adjusting system was studied. Seed axis was derived by servo motor according to tractor travel speed to adjust the seed distances automatically. According to prescription operation maps and GPS information, combined with the weight of fertilizer box and speed, fertilizer signal was got to drive the servo motor Test results showed that control accuracy of fertilizer was 2%, and seed space could be adjusted from 10 to 20 cm steplessly, with the maximum error of 4.48%. This study realizes variable rate fertilize and precision plant.
