AGRICULTURAL DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF DETERMINING CHARACTERISTICS OF SOIL AND SEEDS AND THEIR ANALYSIS Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A01C7/00 A01C7/08 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: agricultural system of sowing seeds in all three embodiments comprises a data processing unit, a frame, an opener connected to the frame for cutting furrows in the soil. In addition, the system also comprises a sensor connected to the data processing unit and configured to receive a characteristic connected with sowing seeds. At that the sensor generates a signal related to the perceived characteristic, and the data processing unit receives this signal. And the said signal is associated with sowing seeds, and the processing unit uses this signal prior to sowing the next seed. And the said sensor is selected from the group consisting of an image sensor in the visible region of the spectrum, an ultrasonic sensor, a capacitive sensor, a photoelectric sensor, a luminescence sensor, a contrast sensor, a video camera, a colour sensor and a laser distance sensor. The second embodiment differs from the first in that the sensor is used, which perceives such characteristic associated with sowing as soil moisture. The third embodiment differs from the first two embodiments in the presence of the second sensor made with the ability to determine a second characteristic related to sowing.

EFFECT: invention enables to improve the yield and productivity of crops sown.
