Super Seeder

Super Seeder is a combination of Rotary Tiller & Seed Planter with press wheels. it is extensively used for planting a wide variety of seeds like wheat, soybean & grass. It is useful for removing tubble & roots of Paddy, Sugarcane, Cotton, Banana, Maize etc.

Specification

Usage of a Super Seeder

1. Direct Sowing:
   • Plants seeds directly into the soil without prior plowing, reducing the need for multiple field passes.
2. Crop Residue Management:
   • Cuts, lifts, and evenly incorporates crop residues into the soil, eliminating the need for burning.
3. Zero Tillage:
   • Works effectively in fields without prior tillage, maintaining soil structure and reducing erosion.
4. Moisture Retention:
   • Sows seeds into moist soil layers, ensuring better germination, especially in semi-arid regions.
5. Suitable for Multiple Crops:
   • Ideal for wheat, maize, rice, and other cereals or pulses.
6. Weed Control:
   • Reduces the germination of weeds by cutting residues and creating a clean seedbed.

Working Process

1. Attachment:
   • The Super Seeder is attached to a tractor, typically through a 3-point linkage system.
2. Residue Cutting and Mixing:
   • A set of blades or discs cuts through crop residues and mixes them with the soil.
3. Seed Placement:
   • Seeds are deposited at a precise depth using a calibrated seed metering system.
4. Fertilizer Application:
   • Some models simultaneously apply fertilizers along with seeds, ensuring nutrient availability during germination.
5. Compaction:
   • Press wheels compact the soil over the seeds to ensure proper soil-seed contact.
