To address the high-throughput real-time detection requirements in industrial seed sorting scenarios, this study proposes an innovative solution coupling a lightweight detection algorithm with an industrial control system. By optimizing and integrating the YOLOv11-S architecture with the MobileNetV4 depth-wise separable convolution backbone, introducing the Focus operation for 4x downsampling via slicing concatenation without increasing computation, and embedding a mixed local channel attention mechanism, an industrially applicable model, Anomalous Seed Detection-YOLO(ASD-YOLO), with a parameter size of only 9.5 MB, was constructed. This model achieves a mean average precision (mAP) of 96.5 % while reaching a maximum processing capability of 62 FPS on a single device. Simultaneously, by incorporating algorithms such as a feedback error correction mechanism developed in conjunction with an industrial-grade pulse coordination control mechanism, the system achieves stable end-to-end latency control at the 35 ms level in a pepper seed anomaly detection production line environment. It supports continuous 24-h stable operation at a throughput of 10,000 seeds/min, with a relative error controlled to 3.3 mm. Based on the detection results, a fuzzy grading algorithm was developed to categorize the seed quality into five levels using membership functions. This provides a quantitative basis for refined storage management and differentiated processing, achieving a statistically significant 16.2 % reduction in the misjudgment rate compared with traditional grading methods. By constructing an “artificial intelligent algorithm-pulse coordination-protocol coupling” trinity architecture, the proposed model establishes a universal methodological framework for lightweight model deployment in agricultural intelligent manufacturing scenarios, offering a scalable standardized solution for seed quality control.
为了满足工业种子分选场景中的高通量实时检测需求,本研究提出了一种将轻量级检测算法与工业控制系统相结合的创新解决方案。通过对YOLOv11-S体系结构与MobileNetV4深度可分卷积主干进行优化集成,在不增加计算量的情况下,通过切片拼接引入Focus操作进行4倍下采样,并嵌入混合局部通道关注机制,构建了一个参数大小仅为9.5 MB的工业应用模型——异常种子检测- yolo (ASD-YOLO)。该模型实现了96.5%的平均精度(mAP),同时在单个设备上达到了62 FPS的最大处理能力。同时,通过结合反馈纠错机制和工业级脉冲协调控制机制等算法,该系统在辣椒种子异常检测生产线环境中实现了35 ms级别的稳定端到端延迟控制。支持连续24小时稳定运行,吞吐量10000粒/分钟,相对误差控制在3.3 mm。基于检测结果,提出了一种模糊分级算法,利用隶属度函数将种子质量划分为5个等级。这为精细化存储管理和差异化处理提供了定量依据,与传统分级方法相比,误判率降低了16.2%,具有统计学意义。该模型通过构建“人工智能算法-脉冲协调-协议耦合”三位一体架构,为农业智能制造场景下轻量级模型部署提供了通用的方法框架,为种子质量控制提供了可扩展的标准化解决方案。

Precision seeding is an essential technological approach to enhancing crop planting uniformity and yield. The post-collision motion of maize seeds upon soil contact significantly affects seeding accuracy. To investigate the motion characteristics of maize seeds upon soil impact, this study employed a self-developed seed-soil collision test platform integrated with a dual-camera high-speed imaging system to systematically analyze the effects of soil physical properties, seed-soil collision parameters, and seed shape on seed displacement and movement patterns. The interquartile range (IQR) value of seed displacement is used to evaluate its displacement consistency. The study revealed the following key findings: (1) Soil particle size and moisture content significantly influence seed displacement upon soil impact. A decrease in soil particle size slightly increases the seed displacement distance but significantly reduces the IQR of seed displacement. (2) Collision angle and velocity have a significant impact on seed displacement. A larger collision angle (75°∼90°) effectively reduces seed bounce distance, whereas higher collision velocity leads to poorer displacement consistency. (3) Seed shape affects the motion pattern of seeds. Spherical maize seeds (SM) primarily move through rolling, resulting in greater displacement distances and reduced uniformity. In contrast, horse toothed maize seeds (HTM) mainly exhibit sliding and embedding movements, leading to improved displacement consistency. By deepening the understanding of maize seed motion upon soil contact, these findings contribute to refining precision seeding technology and improving seeding equipment performance.
精准播种是提高作物种植均匀性和产量的重要技术手段。玉米种子接触土壤后的碰撞运动对播种精度有显著影响。为研究玉米种子在土壤冲击下的运动特性,本研究采用自行研制的种子-土壤碰撞试验平台,结合双摄像头高速成像系统,系统分析土壤物理性质、种子-土壤碰撞参数和种子形状对种子位移和运动模式的影响。采用种子位移的四分位间距(IQR)值来评价种子位移一致性。研究发现:(1)土壤粒径和含水量显著影响种子位移对土壤的影响。土壤粒径的减小使种子位移距离略有增加,但显著降低了种子位移的IQR。(2)碰撞角和碰撞速度对种子位移有显著影响。较大的碰撞角(75°~ 90°)可有效减少种子弹跳距离,而较高的碰撞速度会导致较差的位移一致性。(3)种子形状影响种子的运动方式。球形玉米种子(SM)主要通过滚动运动,导致更大的位移距离和降低均匀性。相比之下,马齿玉米种子(HTM)主要表现为滑动和嵌入运动,从而提高了位移一致性。通过深入了解玉米种子在土壤接触下的运动规律,这些发现有助于改进精准播种技术和提高播种设备的性能。

Maize leaf morphology is poorly investigated because quantifying maize leaf geometry is still an open question due to the complexity of the 3D curved shape. By utilization of geometric curves, maize leaf morphology can be effectively described parametrically and quantitatively. We divided maize leaf into three components: midrib, cross-section and blade contour. Each component is represented by parametric curves and controlled by a group of parameters. A 3D maize leaf model is generated by translation, rotation and scaling of the three components. We demonstrated the parametric maize leaf model allows the applications of leaf geometry analysis, leaf-level radiation capture simulation and dataset synthesis for phenotyping pipeline. The parametric maize leaf model is configurable, extensible and scalable, allowing it to be used in agricultural digital-twin and high-accuracy phenotyping. It also has potential to serve as a platform for maize biophysical and biomechanical studies. The code for 3D maize leaf model generation is available at https://github.com/xzcppm/parametric_maize_leaf.
由于玉米叶片三维弯曲形状的复杂性,玉米叶片几何形状的量化仍然是一个悬而未决的问题,因此对玉米叶片形态学的研究很少。利用几何曲线可以有效地对玉米叶片形态进行参数化和定量描述。我们将玉米叶片分为三个部分:中脉、横截面和叶片轮廓。每个分量由参数曲线表示,并由一组参数控制。通过平移、旋转和缩放三个分量,生成三维玉米叶片模型。我们证明了参数化玉米叶片模型允许叶片几何分析、叶片水平辐射捕获模拟和表型管道数据集合成的应用。参数化玉米叶片模型具有可配置、可扩展和可扩展的特点,可用于农业数字孪生和高精度表型分析。它还具有作为玉米生物物理和生物力学研究平台的潜力。3D玉米叶片模型生成的代码可在https://github.com/xzcppm/parametric_maize_leaf上获得。

Although extensive research has been conducted on air-assisted centralized seed metering devices, the impact of tandem transport components on distribution performance remains unclear, and the existing evaluation system is inadequate. In this study, CFD-DEM coupled numerical simulation was employed to analyze the influence of tandem transport components and their interactions on distribution performance. The results indicate that the synergistic effect between the aggregation and distribution components relative contribution to RCV (coefficient of variation of consistency of discharges per row) reduction most significantly, accounting for 93 %. The DCV (uniformity coefficient of variation of seed distribution in the pipe) was proposed as an evaluation index for key transport components, and a mathematical model correlating DCV with RCV was established. Subsequently, the DCV was utilized to optimize the structure of the aggregation component. The results showed that a DCV of 10.42 % was achieved when the aggregation angle was 90° and the arterial pipe length was 120 mm. Furthermore, the distribution component was designed and optimized using reverse engineering technology. When combined with the optimized aggregation component, the seed metering system achieved an RCV of 3.38 %. Bench experiments confirmed that the RCV of the optimized system was reduced by an average of 1.51 % compared to the original design. This study provides a theoretical basis and empirical reference for improving the performance of air-assisted centralized seed metering devices.
虽然对空气辅助集中式排种装置进行了大量的研究,但串联输送组件对分配性能的影响尚不清楚,现有的评价体系也不完善。本研究采用CFD-DEM耦合数值模拟的方法,分析串联输运组分及其相互作用对分布性能的影响。结果表明,聚集和分布组分之间的协同效应对RCV(每行排放一致性变异系数)降低的相对贡献最为显著,占93%。提出了种子在管道内分布变异均匀系数(DCV)作为关键输运组分的评价指标,并建立了DCV与RCV的数学模型。随后,利用DCV对聚合组件的结构进行优化。结果表明,当聚集角为90°,动脉管长为120 mm时,DCV为10.42%;在此基础上,利用逆向工程技术对配电元件进行了设计和优化。当与优化后的聚合组分结合使用时,排种系统的RCV为3.38%。台架实验结果表明,优化后的RCV比原设计平均降低了1.51%。本研究为提高气助集中式排种装置的性能提供了理论依据和经验参考。

Tomatoes are a globally important horticultural crop, and their high-yield, high-quality breeding relies on high-throughput, precise phenotyping. While 3D point cloud technology offers a new avenue for non-destructive plant phenotyping, the inherent complexity of tomato plant organ morphology and growth dynamics poses a significant challenge to existing segmentation methods. To address this, this study employed multi-view RGB image reconstruction to cost-effectively acquire high-quality point cloud data from four growth cycles. Based on the characteristics of our data, we adapted and proposed a hybrid dual-path downsampling method (HDPD) for dataset augmentation, and constructed a dynamic reference point propagation network (DRP-Net) for semantic segmentation. The DRP-Net architecture addresses geometric feature mismatches between organs through a dynamic kernel edge convolution module (DKEC). Furthermore, it utilizes a global–local semantic feature fusion upsampling module (GL-SFFU) to overcome boundary blurring caused by plant growth and enhance detail discrimination. Based on the semantic segmentation results, a clustering algorithm was used to achieve leaf instance segmentation and extract key phenotypic parameters. Experimental results demonstrate that DRP-Net achieves significant performance in the tomato stem and leaf segmentation task, with mean precision, recall, F1 score, and mIoU reaching 94.97%, 93.93%, 94.43%, and 89.34%, respectively. The extracted phenotypic parameters, such as leaf length, leaf width, and leaf area, exhibit strong correlations with manual measurements (R2 greater than 0.92 and 0.88, respectively). This study provides an effective technical solution for the precise segmentation of complex plant organs and high-throughput phenotyping analysis for breeding.
西红柿是全球重要的园艺作物,其高产、优质育种依赖于高通量、精确的表型。虽然3D点云技术为非破坏性植物表型分析提供了新的途径,但番茄植物器官形态和生长动态的固有复杂性对现有的分割方法提出了重大挑战。为了解决这一问题,本研究采用多视图RGB图像重建,以经济有效的方式获得四个生长周期的高质量点云数据。基于数据的特点,提出了一种混合双路径下采样方法(HDPD)进行数据集增强,构建了一个动态参考点传播网络(DRP-Net)进行语义分割。DRP-Net架构通过动态核边缘卷积模块(DKEC)解决器官之间的几何特征不匹配问题。此外,利用全局-局部语义特征融合上采样模块(GL-SFFU)克服了植物生长引起的边界模糊,增强了细节识别能力。基于语义分割结果,采用聚类算法实现叶片实例分割,提取关键表型参数。实验结果表明,DRP-Net在番茄茎叶分割任务中取得了显著的性能,平均准确率、召回率、F1分数和mIoU分别达到94.97%、93.93%、94.43%和89.34%。提取的表型参数,如叶长、叶宽和叶面积,与人工测量结果具有很强的相关性(R2分别大于0.92和0.88)。该研究为复杂植物器官的精确分割和育种的高通量表型分析提供了有效的技术解决方案。

Leaves play a crucial role in the growth of plants, both functionally and structurally. To meet the requirements of various levels of detail (LoDs) in leaf modeling for different applications, this paper introduces a self-adaptive 3D leaf modeling method aimed at enhancing LoDs representation. In this paper, a self-adaptive leaf axis determination method is first presented. According to the built leaf axis, feature points including contour points, inner corners, and outer corners are identified. Subsequently, based on these feature points, a multi-level veins generation model is proposed, extracting primary, secondary, and tertiary veins individually by leveraging the geometric and morphological traits of the leaf through a spatial colonization strategy. Hereafter, the three-dimensional leaf modeling achieves different LoDs by incorporating varying degrees of vein structures. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, both simulated and real datasets are utilized for testing. The simulated datasets consist of leaves from four different types, such as entire, toothed, disercted and digitate demonstrating that the method produces satisfactory results with small area deviation and distance residuals. In the real datasets, seven individual tomatoes with a total of 228 leaves are tested, showing that the proposed modeling approach aligns effectively with real data, with distance residuals mostly falling within -0.4 cm to 0.4 cm from real point clouds. Experimental results also reveal that higher levels of modeling lead to better outcomes due to increased detail from additional veins and feature points incorporated in the modeling process.
叶片在植物的功能和结构上都起着至关重要的作用。为了满足不同应用对叶片建模中不同细节层次(lod)的要求,本文介绍了一种自适应的叶片三维建模方法,旨在增强lod的表示。本文首次提出了一种自适应叶轴确定方法。根据构建的叶轴,识别特征点,包括轮廓点、内角和外角。随后,基于这些特征点,提出了一种多级叶脉生成模型,通过空间定植策略,利用叶片的几何和形态特征,分别提取初级、次级和第三系叶脉。此后,叶片三维建模通过加入不同程度的叶脉结构来实现不同的LoDs。为了评估该方法的有效性,利用模拟和真实数据集进行了测试。模拟数据集包括全叶、齿形叶、断叶和数字化叶四种不同类型的叶片,结果表明,该方法具有较小的面积偏差和距离残差,结果令人满意。在实际数据集中,对7个番茄共228片叶子进行了测试,结果表明,所提出的建模方法与实际数据有效吻合,距离残差大多落在-0.4 cm到0.4 cm之间。实验结果还表明,由于在建模过程中加入了额外的静脉和特征点,更高的建模水平会导致更好的结果。

To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, both simulated and real datasets are utilized for testing. The simulated datasets consist of leaves from four different types, such as entire, toothed, disercted and digitate demonstrating that the method produces satisfactory results with small area deviation and distance residuals. In the real datasets, seven individual tomatoes with a total of 228 leaves are tested, showing that the proposed modeling approach aligns effectively with real data, with distance residuals mostly falling within -0.4 cm to 0.4 cm from real point clouds. Experimental results also reveal that higher levels of modeling lead to better outcomes due to increased detail from additional veins and feature points incorporated in the modeling process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50627,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Electronics in Agriculture","volume":"243 ","pages":"Article 111377"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145885969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The efficient extraction of cropland parcels from satellite imagery is of crucial importance for modern agricultural management. The advent of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) presents the potential to reduce the need for annotations and complex training in the context of cropland extraction. However, SAM faces challenges in handling diverse and heterogeneous cropland types. To address these issues, this study proposes a novel, unsupervised methodology that integrates SAM with an adaptive mask refinement strategy, enabling accurate cropland extraction under minimal supervision. The refinement strategy comprises three key components: (1) an adaptive prompt point module that leverages superpixels to dynamically generate optimised prompt points, (2) an overlap filtering module to eliminate redundant cropland parcels and (3) a boundary-matching stitching module to maintain spatial continuity across image tiles. The efficacy of the method was evaluated using diverse satellite images (∼160  km2) from seven representative regions in China, the United States, and South Africa. Ablation experiment results showed that the proposed approach achieved notable improvements over the baseline SAM, with increases in recall (R), Intersection over Union (IoU) and global total classification errors (GTC) of 0.971, 0.908 and 0.124, respectively. Furthermore, it outperformed five contemporary state-of-the-art methods, achieving a precision (P) of 0.960. The method also generalised well across different cropland configurations, ranging from large, regular parcels (e.g. Xinjiang, Illinois) to fragmented landscapes (e.g. Guangdong, Western Cape). Seasonal analysis confirmed that images captured during the sowing period yielded the highest extraction accuracy. These findings highlight the potential of SAM-based approaches for scalable and accurate cropland parcel mapping in complex agricultural landscapes under low-supervision settings.
从卫星影像中高效提取农田地块对现代农业管理具有重要意义。片段任意模型(SAM)的出现为减少对农田提取背景下注释和复杂训练的需求提供了潜力。然而,在处理多样化和异质性的农田类型方面,SAM面临着挑战。为了解决这些问题,本研究提出了一种新颖的无监督方法,该方法将SAM与自适应掩模细化策略相结合,从而在最小的监督下实现精确的农田提取。该优化策略包括三个关键组件:(1)利用超像素动态生成优化提示点的自适应提示点模块,(2)消除冗余农田地块的重叠过滤模块,以及(3)保持图像块间空间连续性的边界匹配拼接模块。利用来自中国、美国和南非七个代表性地区的不同卫星图像(~ 160 km2)评估了该方法的有效性。消融实验结果表明,该方法与基线SAM相比有显著改善,召回率(R)、交叉比联合(IoU)和全局总分类误差(GTC)分别提高了0.971、0.908和0.124。此外,它优于五种当代最先进的方法,达到0.960的精度(P)。该方法也可以很好地推广到不同的农田配置,从大的、规则的地块(如新疆、伊利诺伊州)到破碎的景观(如广东、西开普省)。季节分析证实,在播种期间捕获的图像产生了最高的提取精度。这些发现突出了基于sam的方法在低监管环境下复杂农业景观中可扩展和精确的农田地块测绘的潜力。

Accurate detection of winter damage in turfgrass is essential for proactive management but remains difficult because early-stage injury is faint, irregular, and easily confused with background noise. These characteristics create two major challenges: limited availability of reliable training data and the need for a segmentation model that is highly sensitive to subtle features. To address the data limitation, this study employs a Conditional Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (cDCGAN) to generate synthetic, high-fidelity vegetation index (VI) maps. Compared with raw spectral bands, VIs are more robust to noise and enhance both dataset diversity and model generalization. To meet the segmentation challenge, we introduce a Transformer-based model with a novel Adaptive Attention Decoder (AAD), which dynamically refines feature representations to improve detection of low-contrast, spatially irregular damage. Field experiments conducted on golf courses in central Oregon, USA, from 2022 to 2023 demonstrate that the proposed pipeline outperforms other advanced deep learning models, achieving an mIoU of 82.47%, an accuracy of 97.85%, a recall of 85.62%, and an F1-score of 88.30%. Overall, this research presents a problem-driven framework that integrates targeted data augmentation with an improved segmentation architecture, offering a robust and accurate solution for early detection of winter damage in precision turfgrass management.
准确检测草坪冬季损伤对于主动管理至关重要,但由于早期损伤微弱、不规则且容易与背景噪声混淆,因此仍然很困难。这些特征带来了两个主要挑战:可靠训练数据的可用性有限,以及对细微特征高度敏感的分割模型的需求。为了解决数据的局限性,本研究采用了条件深度卷积生成对抗网络(cDCGAN)来生成合成的高保真植被指数(VI)地图。与原始光谱波段相比,可视化对噪声的鲁棒性更强,增强了数据集的多样性和模型的泛化。为了应对分割挑战,我们引入了一种基于变压器的模型,该模型带有一种新的自适应注意力解码器(AAD),它可以动态地改进特征表示,以提高对低对比度、空间不规则损伤的检测。2022年至2023年在美国俄勒冈州中部的高尔夫球场进行的现场实验表明,所提出的管道优于其他先进的深度学习模型,mIoU为82.47%,准确率为97.85%,召回率为85.62%,f1分数为88.30%。总体而言,本研究提出了一个问题驱动的框架,将目标数据增强与改进的分割架构相结合,为精确草坪管理中的冬季损害早期检测提供了一个强大而准确的解决方案。

The integration of electronic system into agricultural production can significantly enhance its efficiency and scalability. However, most of the current research focuses on the data acquisition and automated control. The development of expert-level, interpretable decision-making systems remains a challenge, primarily due to the prohibitive requirement for extensive domain-specific labeled data. In this manuscript, a novel agentic framework integrated with Large Language Models is proposed and demonstrated, using seedling assessment as a case study. The framework achieves high predictive accuracy, strong interpretability, and fast-adaption ability, offering a distinct advantage over methods that demand large labeled datasets. An agentic orchestration framework integrated with the Analytic Hierarchy Process and the reasoning ability of the Large Language Models is constructed to automatically derive the raw assessment rating. Based on a score calibration system using few-shot learning with three different types of lettuce, Butterhead, Grand Rapids, and Ramosa Hort, the final rating score can be derived with good prediction accuracy based on a small dataset (less than 20 labelled data). Additionally, three supplementary plant species (Sprout, Ball Brassica, and Rapa Brassica) are used to demonstrate the framework’s rapid adaptation capability. A field experiment guided by the agentic framework is conducted to prove that this seedling assessment system can be applied to help increase yield by more than 20 %. Our framework presents an important attempt towards an intelligent agricultural system that is capable to achieve expert-level and data-efficient decision making, thereby helping to bridge the critical gap between artificial intelligence research and practical agricultural application.
将电子系统集成到农业生产中,可以显著提高农业生产的效率和可扩展性。然而,目前的研究大多集中在数据采集和自动控制方面。开发专家级的、可解释的决策系统仍然是一个挑战,主要是由于对广泛的特定领域标记数据的限制要求。本文以幼苗评估为例,提出并论证了一种集成了大型语言模型的新型代理框架。该框架具有较高的预测精度、较强的可解释性和快速适应能力,与需要大型标记数据集的方法相比具有明显的优势。构建了结合层次分析法和大型语言模型推理能力的代理编排框架,实现了原始评价等级的自动生成。基于使用三种不同类型的莴苣(Butterhead, Grand Rapids和Ramosa Hort)的few-shot学习的评分校准系统,可以基于小数据集(少于20个标记数据)获得具有良好预测精度的最终评级分数。此外,还使用了三种补充植物(芽甘蓝、球甘蓝和油菜)来证明该框架的快速适应能力。在机构框架指导下进行了田间试验,证明该育苗评价系统可帮助增产20%以上。我们的框架提出了对智能农业系统的重要尝试,该系统能够实现专家级和数据高效的决策,从而有助于弥合人工智能研究与实际农业应用之间的关键差距。

To address the issues of unstable filling performance and poor sowing quality caused by ineffective seed clearing in mechanical soybean metering devices under high-speed operation, a novel high-speed precision metering device featuring seed diversion and pending filling functions was developed. The design introduces the concept of ’directional diversion and seed pending’ in which the sloped seed inlet guides the seeds directionally, while the double-lug hole structure enables orderly filling and temporary pending, thereby significantly enhancing the filling qualification index. Theoretical analysis was conducted to identify key structural parameters influencing seed filling, transportation, pending, and clearing. Orthogonal simulation experiments were performed to evaluate three critical parameters—perturbation angle, sidewall length, and bottom length—using the qualification index and pending index as optimization criteria. The results indicated that optimal seeding performance was achieved at a perturbation angle of − 12.07°, a sidewall length of 5.08 mm, and a bottom length of 15.28 mm. Bench validation experiments conducted at 6–10 km/h showed that the qualification index exceeded 98 %, while the pending index reached 93.47 %, representing an improvement of at least 3.9 percentage points over conventional brush-type metering devices. These results meet the operational requirements for high-speed precision seeding and offer new insights into the design of soybean metering devices.
针对高速运行下大豆机械计量装置因清种效果不佳而导致灌浆性能不稳定和播种质量不佳的问题,研制了一种具有导种和待灌浆功能的高速精密计量装置。设计引入了“定向导流暂种”的概念,倾斜的种子入口引导种子定向,双耳孔结构实现了有序填充和暂挂,显著提高了填充合格指标。通过理论分析,确定了影响种子灌浆、运输、悬置和清除的关键结构参数。采用正交模拟试验对扰动角、侧壁长度和底长3个关键参数进行了评价,并以合格指数和待决指数为优化标准。结果表明:扰动角为- 12.07°、侧壁长为5.08 mm、底长为15.28 mm时播种效果最佳;在6 ~ 10 km/h下进行的台架验证实验表明,合格率超过98%,待定率达到93.47%,比传统电刷式计量装置提高至少3.9个百分点。这些结果满足了高速精密播种的操作要求,为大豆计量装置的设计提供了新的思路。
