摘要:
Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for applying fertilizer during a planting operation. Embodiments include a seed firmer having a liquid application conduit for injecting liquid into the sidewall of a trench. In some such embodiments, the seed firmer includes structure for opening a side trench in the sidewall of the trench; liquid is then injected into the resulting side trench.
摘要:
A liquid application apparatus (7000) for applying liquid to soil during a planting operation includes a ground-engaging component (e.g. a wing body 7060) mounted to a planter row unit configured to open a planting trench and to deposit seeds in the planting trench with the ground-engaging component is disposed at least partially within the said planting trench as the planter row unit traverses a field. A first liquid injection conduit (7750) is mounted to the ground-engaging component (7060) and disposed to inject liquid into a first sidewall of said planting trench. The ground-engaging component is mounted in a housing (7090) via at least one of a height adjustment arm (7080) that is pivotably mounted in the housing to allow for height adjustment of said ground-engaging component, and a spring that is pivotably mounted in the housing to allow for vertical deflection of said ground-engaging component.
摘要:
An agricultural device has a frame (253) and a bracket (7210, 7310) attached to the frame (253). A ground-engaging agricultural component (7000) is mounted to the bracket (6090, 7210, 7310) through a pivot (A-43, P-4) that allows the component (7000) to pivot side to side along a direction of travel of the device. The device may comprise a planter row unit having an opening system to open a planting trench in a soil surface, a system to deposit seeds into the open planting trench, and a closing system to cover the deposited seeds with soil as the row unit advances. The component (7000) may be disposed within the open trench rearward the opening system and forward the closing system. The pivot axis (A-44) may descend at an angle toward said forward direction of travel.

摘要:
Systems, methods and apparatus for monitoring soil properties and applying fertilizer during a planting operation. Various sensors are disposed in ground engaging components for monitoring soil properties. The ground engaging components may have structure for opening a side trench in the sidewalls of the seed trench and may include liquid application conduits for injecting liquid into the sidewalls of the resulting side trenches.
