“…A high-speed seed guiding system and a precision seed metering system make up the majority of a high-speed precision seeder. When they work together, seeds can be deposited into the seed ditch quickly and precisely [5][6][7][8] . However, the main factors that influence the sowing performance are the seed bounce and collision in a high-speed seed guiding device [9] .…”

Seeding is an important part of improving corn yield. Currently, seed guide tubes are mostly used as transport devices. But the existing seed guide tubes cannot meet the requirements or achieve the goal of fixing the seed falling trajectory. A seed collision phenomenon occurs occasionally. So, in response to the problems that the seeds and seed guide tube collide or bounce under high speed operation, which results in a lower sowing qualification rate and poor spacing uniformity, a seed receiving and conveying system comprising a belt-type high-speed corn seed guiding device was designed and optimized, to meet the needs of high-speed precision sowing operations and improve the spacing uniformity.The factors affecting the seed conveying performance were obtained by analyzing the mechanical properties of the seeds at various movement stages. These factors were the number of seed cavities between adjacent seeds, the forward speed, the height from the ground, and the installation angle. Single factor simulation experiments were conducted by selecting the paddle spacing as the test factor and using the pass rate, reseeding rate, omission rate and coefficient of variation as the evaluation indexes to investigate the influence of the paddle spacing on the seed guide performance of the device and further determine the structural parameters of the paddle belt. Orthogonal rotation combination tests of three factors and five levels were also conducted through bench testing.Then the test outcomes were optimized. The results indicated that the best results were obtained when the number of seed cavity intervals between adjacent seeds was 5.16, the installation angle was 79.40°, and the height from the ground was 31.84 mm. At this time, the qualified rate was 98.49%, the repeated sowing rate was 0.48%, the missed sowing rate was 1.03%, and the coefficient of variation was 6.80%. Experiments were used to validate the optimization results, and all of the obtained index data satisfied the criteria for accurate and quick corn sowing. The study's findings can serve as a theoretical foundation for a belt-type high-speed corn seed guiding device optimization test.

The paper highlights the benefits of using seed tape planting technology, which include reduced seeding rate, optimized application of fertilizers and chemicals, and the ability to quickly switch between different crops or seed varieties. This technology shows positive effects on nearly all agricultural crops. (Research purpose) The study aims to explore the history of the emergence and application of seed tapes (seed ropes) for planting, detailing their design features and production technologies. (Materials and methods) The research employs a historical-analytical method, examining scientific publications, patent databases, such as Espacenet and the Federal Institute of Industrial Property, as well as photographic materials. (Results and discussion) The paper provides information on the origin of the first seed carriers which were flexible holding strips of paper or similar material that enclosed seeds. It covers the development and advancement of this planting technology, highlighting the use of currently most popular seed tapes. Universal or combined tapes and twisted seed strands can serve as carriers of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and other substances in various combinations, in addition to seeds themselves. The paper reviews inventions related to the types and manufacturing methods of seed tapes and seed ropes proposed in different countries from 1898 to 2023. (Conclusions) The differences between seed tapes and seed ropes primarily lie in the mechanization of their production. The seed carrier can be made from various biodegradable materials, such as paper, plant fiber cloth, polymers or others. When manufacturing these tapes, it is necessary to minimize seed damage. The present research results in the formulation of principles for selecting biodegradable polymeric materials for seed tape planting technology. These principles include high diffusion rates, swelling properties, and maintaining a balance between tape biodegradation and biochemical reactions in plant cells.
