Development of a Monitoring and Control System for a Rowed Electrific Seeder

Abstract

A study was carried out to develop a software and hardware complex for a control and monitoring system for row seeders with electric drives. New algorithms have been developed to detect skips, doubles and crushed seeds, control the speed of rotation of the sowing disc depending on the speed of the sowing unit and automatically control the position of the doubles puller. Key words: row seeder, seeding control system, seeding management, seeding quality.
