How much does a rice drill seeder cost roughly per unit?
Mechanical drill seeding of rice is a cultivation method that uses a drill seeding machine to sow rice seeds directly into the field. It features fixed rows, straight rows and wide rows, and can make the field growing environment of direct-seeded rice similar to that of transplanted rice, thereby achieving high and stable yields. The rice drill seeder has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost, while its efficiency can be more than 15 times higher than that of existing manual transplanting. It also has a high emergence rate, providing a new way to reduce the labor intensity of farmers in rice-growing areas and to improve agricultural mechanization. The price and quotes of rice drill seeders are what agricultural practitioners care about. How much does a rice drill seeder roughly cost to buy per unit?
By consulting a large amount of information and comparing many manufacturers and brands, the editor found that the prices of different types of rice drill seeders vary considerably. Generally, the price of a gasoline drill seeder (including automatic and manual types) is between 1300-1800 yuan, while the quote for a high-efficiency no-till rice drill seeder (which can fertilize at the same time) reaches 2600-3800 yuan.
A rice drill seeder mainly includes a body, a seed hopper mounted on the body and a seed discharge wheel shaft. The body is also equipped with a seed groove plate and a mud drag plate, and the seed discharge wheel shaft is equipped with ground wheels. The mud drag plate and the body are equipped with pull hooks. It is characterized in that 4 to 10 seed discharge wheels are mounted on the seed discharge wheel shaft below the seed hopper, an adjustment plate corresponding to the seed discharge wheels is mounted at the bottom of the seed hopper, and a rotating shaft is also mounted inside the seed hopper. A transmission wheel is mounted on the rotating shaft, and this transmission wheel meshes with the seed discharge wheel shaft.
The main technical points of the rice drill seeder are as follows:
First, model selection: the 2BD-6D belt-type precision direct seeding machine (developed by the Kunshan City Agricultural Machinery Technology Extension Station).
Second, fine land preparation: carry out direct water rotary tillage together with basal fertilizer application, then let it settle for 2 days, with the field surface level and free of standing water.
Third, early sowing at the right time: sow before June 5, with sprouts 1-3 mm long and roots half a grain long.
Fourth, precision sowing: use 2.5-3 kg of clean seed per mu, and move forward at a constant speed during sowing.
Fifth, balanced fertilization: use 25-30 kg of high-analysis compound fertilizer per mu as basal fertilizer, use 10 kg of urea per mu as tillering fertilizer at the 2-leaf 1-heart stage, strictly control the long and thick fertilizer in the middle period, and apply ear fertilizer according to the seedlings, with light promotion and light preservation.
Sixth, strict water management: establish a field ditch system of “three vertical and two horizontal”, keep the soil moist after sowing, irrigate with running horse water on sunny days after full emergence, establish a shallow water layer after the 3-leaf stage, drain the field when the number of seedlings reaches 80% of the ear number, alternate dry and wet in the later period, and never cut off water too early.
Seventh, chemical weed control: “one sealing, one killing, one supplementing”, soil sealing during the period when rice grains take root and establish seedlings, use chemicals to kill emerged weeds at the 3-leaf 1-heart stage, and then carry out supplementary treatment according to different weed conditions.
Eighth, integrated pest and disease control: strictly control damage from pests and diseases such as rice thrips, stripe leaf blight, rice leaf roller, sheath blight, rice blast, rice planthopper and rice false smut.
The price and quotes of rice drill seeders were mentioned above, and one can be bought for roughly a few thousand yuan. However, farmers should be reminded here that the price of rice drill seeders is not fixed, but fluctuates under the influence of many factors. Therefore, when buying a rice drill seeder, everyone should still learn about the current market conditions through as many channels as possible and compare several sellers.
