| Résumé | Modern seeding equipment must allow to cultivate sizeable areas efficiently and finalize the seeding in a short amount of time. Air-seeder is a solution for a fast seeding: seeds are conveyed from the high-capacity seed hopper to the coulter-bar by an air-stream. Taking into account the complexity of this type of seed drills, they stay little-studied. Few developments have been done on divider headers responsible of distribution accuracy. This paper deals with a study on the influence of divider head geometry and functioning conditions on the seed's distribution accuracy. Moreover, observation of the seed's behaviour is done using a high-speed camera system. These experimental results allowed proposals of hypothesis about the parameters influencing the final result, necessary for future divider heads design. |
