FIELD: agriculture.
SUBSTANCE: method for controlled sowing of an agricultural plot using a sowing autonomous or semi-autonomous machine or coupling with a sowing machine having individual sowing elements, each of which is intended and made with possibility to make sowing row, in which said sowing machine or coupling is configured to selectively and at least temporarily interrupt at least one or all seeding row(s) by locking and/or swinging corresponding member or members, in order to make a technological track on said plot, preventing damage to agricultural crops during the planned passage(s) of at least one machine(s) or coupling(s) intended for at least one subsequent operation(s) on this plot. Method includes preliminary development of virtual plan of plot with current, mainly, rectilinear sections of planting rows locations intended to be performed at least in main interior area of said plot and optionally at a peripheral region of the edge of the field extending along or surrounding, optionally, at least partially said inner region; further, determining, on its basis, the trajectory of the machine or sowing coupling, controlled by controlled for performing controlled sowing with the execution of the technological track for these current sections depending on the trajectories of the running gears of the machine(s) or the coupling(s) performing the next operation(s) on these current sections. Specific trajectories of the machine(s) or coupling(s) performing said subsequent operation(s) are also provided and taken into account, at least during cornering, during turns or between current sections, and the machine or the sowing coupling is controlled in order to perform controlled sowing with execution of the technological tracks also during these specific trajectories. Controlled seeding method implementation system contains the autonomous or semi-autonomous sowing machine or coupling with the sowing machine, having individual sowing elements, each of which is intended and made with possibility to perform sowing row. Machine or coupling is arranged with the possibility to selectively or at least temporarily interrupt at least one or all sowing rows by means of locking and, possibly, swinging of the appropriate element(s). Machine or coupling is provided with control means including a computer tool configured to apply a virtual plan of the plot to be sown and developing and executing a record of the movement and operation of said machine or coupling for controlled sowing with selective execution of technological track on the entire plot under consideration, depending on the trajectories of the running gears of the machine(s) or coupling(s) performing the operation(s), following after seeding of this plot.
EFFECT: reduced wastage of seeds, in particular, beyond straight sections of sowing rows locations of plot, limiting unproductive sowing of seeds, id est application of seeds, not leading to plant growing, crop which can be harvested later.
