EARLY SOWING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has ripping tool 1 , subsoil coverers 4. Apparatus allows early sowing of seeds into soil with increased moisture content and simultaneously soil ripping to be effectuated. Seeds are embedded by soil coming down from ripping tool 1 with following compaction of seed layer of soil by subsoil coverers 4. As a result, contact of seeds with soil moisture is improved, with upper layer of seed soil being kept in loose state. EFFECT: increased efficiency, improved quality of soil due to keeping it in loose state and, as a result, reduced dryness of soil. 3 dwg
