Abstract

In order to meet the agronomic requirements of implementing conservation tillage and dual-row planting for maize, a strip-tillage machine specifically designed for conservation tillage was developed in this study. The structure and operating parameters of the strip-tillage machine were determined through the specific design of transmission ratio, row-unit, and rotary tillage mechanism. Detailed analysis of the overall parameters of the implement, crucial parameters of the row guidance component, and specific parameters of the rotary tillage component was conducted, ensuring that the machine can accomplish row guidance, seedbed preparation, and compaction simultaneously for three operating strips. Moreover, the design of the row guidance and compaction devices was considered to minimize energy consumption during operations. This research provides a reliable foundation for the development of strip-tillage machines with conservation tillage capabilities. The strip-tillage machine not only meets the requirements of conservation tillage and dual-row planting for maize but also contributes to the efficient and sustainable cultivation of crops, optimizing soil conditions, reducing labor costs, and decreasing environmental impact.
