The production and breeding of new varieties of high-quality seed material is connected with the sowing of a wide range of crops with different physical and mechanical properties of seeds. In existing seeding machines, the sowing devices are capable of sowing loose and medium-flowing seeds, such as wheat, barley, rye, etc. further transport it to the working bodies for soil application. A characteristic disadvantage in the introduction of hard-flowing (non-flowing) seeds is the presence of a coagulation zone, which should be destroyed. In order to improve the quality of seeding non-flowing seeds, the design parameters of the sowing apparatus for seeding non-flowing grass seeds for moisture and energy-saving technologies in feed production will be substantiated and developed.

We have developed direct seeding seeders based on the AGTS-2,0 stubble drill with the following coulter combinations :

– Disc and chisel openers installed in at least two rows, in one of the rows there are chisels, and in the other – disk, which provide high throughput and low traction resistance when working on stubble untreated backgrounds;

– Disc and cultivator claws with seed spreaders for sowing with a wide belt (band-sowing seed), providing high throughput, low traction resistance and increasing yield.

This paper presents the results of the laboratory and field tests.

This paper presents the results of the laboratory and field research tests, carried out for the experimental installation of the stubble grain seed drill with working organs for separate application of seeds and fertilizers. The test conditions were determined in accordance with SST 20915. The evaluation of agrotechnical indicators was carried out in accordance with SST 31345.
