Development of a machine model for planting potatoes for seeds with active bed formers

One of the main problems of the Russian agriculture is the production of agricultural products in the necessary quantities. In connection with exceeding the norms of impact on agricultural landscapes due to their long and intensive agricultural use, it led to a violation of energy and mass exchange between its components, the progressive development of degradation phenomena, a decrease in soil fertility and productivity of agrocoenoses due to the action of abiotic and biotic stressors. The article considers the technique of planting seed potatoes with two-row placement of tubers in a row. The intensification of potato cultivation technology based on the use of modern science-intensive technical means is one of the main factors for obtaining these strategic agricultural crop high-resistant and high-quality yields. A machine for forming rows of loosened soil with simultaneous planting of sprouted and non-sprouted calibrated potatoes with a given pitch and depth of potato tubers seeding in order to increase the energy efficiency of potato production for seeds, reduce agrotechnological impacts, time, fuel and labor costs due to the simultaneous formation of rows by active cutter working bodies with the planting of potatoes in two rows was developed.
