Abstract
The development and improvement of the originally designed direct rice sowing machine were carried out for the specific purpose of saving labor and increasing the efficiency of field operations in rice cultivation in the northern part of Japan. the prototype super wide spreader has a unique mechanism which propels rice seeds by compressed air and spreads them from the pivoting nozzle while the machine is in motion. The effective field capacity of sowing operation is about 6 ha/h. This spreader can also handle granular chemicals such as fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and insecticides.
