Paper Summary

A new precision seed-metering device for maize was designed to improve seeding performance. It consists of multiple modules to make maintenance easier. By testing different factors like guide plate diameter and rotational speed, the optimal settings were found to achieve a 93.08% single-seed rate, 3% missed-seeding rate, and 3.9% multiple-seeding rate, meeting industry standards.
