“…However, although many works were done on potato planters, studies on the effect of cups on seed spacing uniformity are limited. Buitenwerf et al (2006) studied on cup-belt planter and stated that the geometry of cups should be focused. In addition, previous research (Khairy 1997;Altuntas 2005;Al-Gaadi & Marey 2011) showed that there was an effect of ground speed, and different seed sizes and shapes on seed spacing uniformity.…”

“…These results agreed with the results reported by Altuntas (2005). In addition, some researchers stated that as the angular speed increased, the accuracy of tuber spacing became better (Buitenwerf et al 2006;Sieczka et al 1986). For the accuracy of a different potato planter in same research, Sieczka et al (1986) stated that as the angular speed increased, the accuracy of tuber spacing became worse.…”

In this study, a new fully automatic potato planter was used in which the planting metering mechanism consists of cups and hold pins attached to the circumference of a vertical disc. In order to evaluate performance of the planting metering mechanism, in-row spacing uniformity and external mechanical damage index were determined (P<0.01). Also skips and doubles that caused deterioration of in-row spacing uniformity were investigated. In experiment, two potato varieties (Marfona and Agria) and two potato sizes (25-45 and 45-65 mm) were used. The ground speeds of potato planter were chosen as 3.5, 5.4 and 7.3 km h-1. The results obtained from the experiment indicated that the ground speeds and tuber physical properties significantly influenced tuber spacing accuracy and external mechanical damage index (P<0.01). While the ground speed increased, accuracy of tuber spacing decreased. The highest coefficient of variation (CV%) values were obtained from ground speed of 7.3 km h-1 , Marfona variety, and tubers between 25-45 mm, with 26.80%, 25.58% and 26.27%, respectively. The highest damage index values were obtained from ground speed of 7.3 km h-1 , Agria variety, and tubers between 45-65 mm, with 1.34, 1.18 and 1.23, respectively.

A concept design of a carrot seeder, filed for patent application, was successfully developed in this study. Farmers were visited and interviewed and the data regarding their existing practices in planting carrots, corresponding tools and equipment and planting requirements such as hill spacing, row spacing and plant bed size were gathered. These data were used as input in the preparation and simulation of the seeder design with the aid of Solidworks software. The seeder consisted of seed metering assembly, frame, ground wheels, skid, handle, power transmission, furrow opener and seed covering mechanism. It has 5 metering discs and the spacing between rows is adjustable. The metering disc is provided with grooves on its periphery of size that can accommodate 2 to 5 carrot seeds. Draft force to push the device in usage is 10 kg-force. The designed overall weight is 12 kg.
