Abstract:
      Aimed at the development of film mulch and drip irrigation planting pattern for tomato and capsicum in Xinjiang, an above-film transplanter was manufactured to accomplish the accessorial feeding of seedlings, punching on film, transplantin g, casing soil and other processes simultaneously. The key components, including transplanting parts, intermittent seedling feeding device and soil casing devic e, were designed, and a transplanting test of tomato seedlings was conducted wit h this machine. The test results showed that the tranplanter could satisfy well the agronomic requirements of punching on film and casing soil in crop tran splanting, without seedling injury and film scratch. When the transplanting freq uency of intermittent seedling feeding device was below 67 plants/(min·row), t he accuracy of seedling feeding was high. The transplanted plant spacing was gre ater than the designed plant spacing, which was mainly due to the thickness of l oose surface soil and the friction within the various components of the machine. When the transplanting frequency was 55~62 plants/(min·row), the pass rate of transplanting was more than 92%.
