Revolutionizing seed metering: 90% success rate achieved with optimal settings.
The researchers used computer simulations to test a seed metering device. They looked at how factors like hole size, number of holes, and rotation speed affect the device's performance. The best results were seen with holes 5.5-6.5mm in diameter, 17-22 holes, and a rotation speed of 35-55rpm. With these settings, the device had a success rate of over 90%. This information can help improve the design of similar devices in the future.
