Abstract

This research article aims to study the number of scoops affecting the seed sowing rate for semi-automatic paddy field sowing machine. The number of scoops to be tested were 3, 5 and 8 scoops, respectively. The engine speeds used in the test were 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm and 2500 rpm respectively. The rice seed scoop has a length of 65 mm. Length of scoop area 25 mm and width 4 mm. Install the equipment to the semi-automatic paddy field sowing machine with dimensions of 1500 mm x 1200 mm x 1000 mm attached to a tractor 24 Hp. Data was collected for 5 hours with a 10 liters fuel tank for diesel oil. The distance between each consecutive rice drop was 25 cm x 25 cm. At the engine speed of 1500 rpm the distance of rice seeding was 25 cm x 25 cm. It was found that 3, 5 and 8 scoops of rice seed scoops were used lowest average rice seed consumption rates 5.2, 6.3 and 7.6 kg/rai, respectively.
