The aim of this research is to study the factors affecting a mechanical planting of sesame coated-seeds. The tested parameters of mechanical planting of sesame coated-seeds are metering-device speed ranged between 20 to 60 rpm and forward speed ranged between 1.82 to 4.79 km/h. The main results in this study can be Concluded that in the following points: The maximum sesame coated-seed discharge of 4.12 kg/fed was obtained with metering-device speed of 20 rpm. Meanwhile, the minimum sesame coated-seed discharge of 2.89 kg/fed was obtained with metering-device speed of 60 rpm The maximum sesame plant-emergence of 88.4 % was obtained with forward speed of 1.82 km/h. Meanwhile, the minimum sesame plant-emergence of 77.1 % was obtained with forward speed of 4.79 km/h. By increasing forward speed from 1.82 to 4.79 km/h the total sesame seed-yield decreased from 912 to 577 kg/fed. The operation and production costs at optimum forward speed of 2.97 km/h were 65.7 L.E/h and 96 L.E./fed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
