When sowing crops, several factors must be observed: soil temperature, humidity level and properly prepared soil. The rate of seed germination, plant development and crop yield depend on the correct choice of time and conditions. To apply seed, special units are used - seeders, which require periodic maintenance. In order for the equipment to fully perform its functions, it is necessary to change deformed spare parts for seeders in a timely manner: the price in Belarus depends on the type of components.
How a seeder works
The operating mechanism of a modern seeder is to create uniform furrows along field area and introducing seed to the required depth. After this, the furrows are closed and the soil is compacted for full seed germination. You can buy spare parts for the seeder in Belarus using the link https://otrana.by/catalogue/k-seyalkam-i-posevnym-agregatam/.
Consider the conditions sowing for various crops
Spring wheat:
- Soil temperature: +2°C…+4°C.
- Humidity: moderate, without stagnant water.
- Setting depth: 4- 6 see
- Sowing time: early spring, as soon as the ground warms up.
Winter wheat:
- Ground temperature: +10°C…+12°C.
- Depth Application: 3-5 cm.
- Time frame: 40–50 days before the onset of stable frosts (September-October).
Corn:
- Soil temperature: minimum: +10°C, optimal: +12°C…+15°C.
- Soil humidity: high, especially at the germination stage.
- Depth: 4–8 cm depending on soil type.
- Time frame: mid or late spring, after the risk disappears frosts.
Sunflower:
- Ground temperature: +8°C…+10°C.
- Humidity: moderate, it is important to avoid drying out during the germination stage.
- Depth : 5-7 cm.
- Time frame: spring, when the temperature stabilizes and there is no threat of frost.
Spring barley:
- Soil temperature: +1°C…+3°C.
- Humidity: high, since the crop is sensitive to drought at the germination stage.
- Application depth: 3 -6 cm.
- Timing: early spring.
Winter barley:
- Soil temperature: +8°C...+10°C.
- Setting depth: 3- 5 cm.
- Sowing time: late summer or early autumn.
Spring rapeseed:
- Soil temperature: from +2°C.
- Depth: 1-2 cm.
- Timing: early spring.
Winter rapeseed:
- Soil temperature: +12°C…+15°C.
- Planting depth: 2- 3 cm.
- Sowing dates: late summer-early autumn.
Sugar beets:
- Soil temperature: +5°C...+6°C.
- Humidity: the ground should be moist, but without stagnant water.
- Setting depth: 2-4 cm.
- Date: spring, after soil warms up.
Alfalfa:
- Soil temperature: +8°C…+10°C.
- Humidity: moderate, it is better to sow in areas with constant moisture.
- Application depth: 1-2 cm.
- Time frame: spring or early autumn.
Maintaining optimal conditions for each crop is one of the main components of high yields at minimal costs.
