Development of a seeding machine for major cropping and intercropping

Aims of the project is to develop key components of precision sowing machine, which allows simultaneous sowing of the main crop and intercrop. Unlike precision seeders currently available on the market, the newly developed machine will be more versatile and allows sowing not only wide-row crops (corn, sugar beet, sunflower, etc.), but also but also crops that cannot be sown with precision sowing machines. The project will be focused mainly on the development of a system for accurate a seed separation and dosing, a developing of a seed transport system from a separating device to a seedbed, the development of electronic systems required for accurate control of the dosing and transport equipment and feedback communication, control and data collection into database systems.
