Abstract

The direct seeding of soaked and incubated grains is an ideal and alternative method to overcome the labor scarce problems, reduce the cost, reduce the energy requirements and contributes in improve production. The main objective of this work is to evaluate the field performance of a developed direct seeding machine and compared with the common systems for direct seeding, Sakha 101 the variety of rice grains was used in this work. Measurements of the revealed properties in grown plants characteristic crop yield, the energy consumptions and the cost were taking. By using a developed direct machine with furrow opener at seed rate of 40 kg/fed the germination ratio was 78.4%, plant population was 208.69 plants/m2, the values of C.V were 9.37 and 13.73 % at lateral and longitudinal direction respectively and grain yield was 3.225 tons/fed too, the energy consumed and the cost were 0.514 kW.h/fed and 22.12 L.E/fed. However the net benefit earn of 86.49 LE from differences in costs and 0.172 ton/fed by use a developed direct seeding with furrow opener at seed rate of 40 kg/fed comparing with hand direct seeding in hills with furrow opener at seed rate of 60 kg/fed. In addition to providing 20 kg of seeds from seed rate.
