Description
Technical field
The utility model belongs to seeding apparatus field, particularly a kind of multifunctional lawn seeding apparatus integrating a stroke soil, trench digging, sowing and lid and plant.
Background technology
Lawn sowing is different from common agricultural seeder, the seeding row spacing that agricultural large area sowing General Requirements is certain, many employings program request or drilling, and earthing is relatively dark, China's agricultural field seeding all adopts trench digging or opens cave, sowing, earthing integrated Mechanization sowing.Lawn seed is as much less in seeds such as Chinese sorghum, corn, wheats than agriculturally, and after planting also corresponding reduction is a lot of for thickness of earth covering, and lawn thickness of sowing requires the thickness of sowing being far longer than broadacre agriculture.Therefore agricultural mechanization sower inapplicable lawn seeding operation.
Lawn sowing Casing ways mainly contains three kinds, and the first after planting adopts drag links or manually covers with sieve sieve soil; The second after planting carries out stirring with pointed tooth rake on bed surface, level ground to cover; The third first ditches then to sow final blading ditch Leng and cover seed.From after planting emergence rate and implantation effect, the first effect is best, but need the artificial of many at substantial, the soil property of earthing requires comparatively strict simultaneously, the soil of general former level ground bed can not meet the demands, and needs outsourcing, and therefore in production practices, be only applied in green coverage less for first method, require in very strict lawn engineering planting, as fruit ridge and the platform etc. of serving a ball of golf course.The second is all low than first kind of way floor space cost with the third mode, be applicable to large-area turf establishment, the second pointed tooth rake mixing cover seed, after stirring, the seed of general 20-30% is exposed at surface, this earthing floor space mode can only be applied to does not have the gradient, water spray convenient and the area not falling heavy rain seedling stage, the seed that no person is exposed at surface germination period and Seedling Stage dead due to arid or water erosion.The third mode only has the grass seeds of about 3-5% to be exposed at surface, and the seed of more than 95% covers in ditch, avoids the unfavorable aspect of the second, and save artificial and cover soil material than the first, therefore floor space cost is low simultaneously.In afforestation production practices, lawn seeding method in the past is first manually ditched with homemade rake, is then manually used planting with sowing machine, finally the artificial rake back of the body or broom earthing.This mode not only makes sowing operation loaded down with trivial details, improves floor space cost, and treads footprint because sowing person and lid kind of a member frequently walk about in place, thus after causing lid to be planted, level ground bed surface relief is uneven.
In addition, adopt homemade rake to ditch, trench digging quality directly will affect the sowing uniformity and thickness of earth covering, thus remote-effects percentage of seedgermination, germination vigor, quality of emerging, turf speed and turf quality.The key factor of impact trench digging quality depends on soil block and stone amount, the flatness of level ground bed and the porousness of soil on bed surface, level ground.Because soil block and stone being stuck between rake teeth when ditching, ridge platform can not being formed, also just can not form furrow; Simultaneously Local Convex recessed injustice in earth's surface can cause recess ditch shallow or can not form furrow; The too hard rake teeth of soil can not go deep into also being difficult to trench digging.In large area production practices, no matter how meticulous whole ground moulding in early stage is, and an above-mentioned difficult problem all can be difficult to avoid in local.
