Improving the design of the cultivator working body for inter-row cultivation of weeding crops

Abstract

The intensification of agricultural production provides for solving the problems of soil cultivation in an integrated manner, taking into account all significant factors to fully meet the needs of grown crops. However, traditional technologies and means of mechanization of soil cultivation no longer satisfy the growing needs of crop production. In the development of technologies and agricultural equipment in the agricultural sector of our country, the main trend should be noted - the transition to differentiated mechanized tillage.

 In solving the problems of increasing the production of crop production, an important place is occupied by the design and manufacture of modern technology. Therefore, agricultural engineering enterprises, scientists, designers pay great attention to the search for new solutions in the development of efficient equipment. New samples of agricultural machinery for soil cultivation are being designed and manufactured, measures are being taken to expand the capabilities of inventors in creating promising domestic equipment. As a result, Ukrainian agricultural producers use modern, efficient machinery.

 At the Lugansk National Agrarian University, several designs of the tillage working body of the cultivator have been developed. A feature of the developments is that the operating working bodies of the cultivator are additionally equipped with rational mechanisms that ensure the separation of weeds from the soil, improve conditions for plant development, soil condition, reduce the use of herbicides and increase crop yields.

 Based on the results obtained, a manufacturing technology was developed and an improved sample of the cultivator working body was manufactured. For various soil and climatic conditions, replaceable working elements have been designed to separate the weed from the soil and loosen it. The implementation of such solutions will allow the development to be applied in different regions of Ukraine
