Desenvolvimento de semeadora de hortaliças para a agricultura familiar

Abstract

With the mission of solving the problem of carrot seeding (Daucus carota L.), performed manually and rather laborious, the main focus of this study will also be to increase production and contribute directly to the work of the family farmer. The objective of this work is to carry out the prototype of a small seed seeder in line. The main requirements imposed for the realization of this project was: easy regulation system, so that it can be carried out without the need of a specialized person; and the low cost of production, making it affordable for people with low incomes. With the sowing of carrots in line it is hoped to favor the small rural producer, aiming to improve the quality of life and the production, as well as the harvest, manual and mechanized, which will be due to the controlled spacing and the uniformity of the distances between plants, which does not occur in sowing to the haul carried out almost entirely in the small properties, also with the controlled spacing there is a better absorption of sunlight facilitating the photosynthesis, an indispensable process for the development of the plant.
