- Abstract
The article presents the main application trends of the resource-saving agriculture and its implementation on the principles of crop forecasting. To intensify sowing operations a new pneumatic and mechanical seeding device with a peripheral layout of cells on the sowing disk and a passive device for removing excess seeds by a centrifugal method which ensures even seed distribution on the sowing area was proposed. This sowing device increases the technological efficiency of sowing tilled crops and reduces energy intensity. The research carried out on sugar beet seeds, soybean, sunflower and corn allowed asserting the versatility of the proposed sowing device. It has been found that one sowing disk can measure out in doses all the above-mentioned seeds of the tilled crops with a sufficient precision.
