Abstract

Animal Traction Fertilizer The present invention is a manually driven animal traction agricultural machine for the application of fertilizers and other products on crops, being especially suitable for smoke farms. Its use occurs in rural areas, mainly in small farms because it is a relatively low cost implement, which facilitates the work and increase productivity of small producers, especially in difficult mechanization sites, uneven land and no-till farming. straw. It is composed of a main structure (1) along which five vertical structures are derived that carry at their ends operating discs, the front being the disk (13), two intermediate disks (9) positioned on each side of the equipment. both of similar formation to the first, and yet one of these having a gear (19) that drives the rotational movement through transmissions (8) to a revolving rotor (6) located within the reservoir (5). Two posterior discs (21), bilaterally positioned with a certain inclination perform the ditch closure. The machine developed allows the application of fertilizers in a mechanized way, which provides faster, more regular distribution of fertilizer and better incorporation into the soil. In addition to these advantages, it offers an affordable machine, low operating and maintenance costs, simplicity and versatility of use. Another feature of the equipment is that its use is suitable to be used on the straw left in the soil after harvest, without removing the leftovers from the previous crop, which maintains moisture, improves soil conditions with less compaction and better aeration, among other typical advantages of no-tillage technique.
