PENGEMBANGAN MESIN PENANAM DAN PEMUPUK JAGUNG TERINTEGRASI DENGAN PENGOLAHAN TANAH ALUR
ABSTRACT: The prototype of
integrated corn planter and fertilizer applicator for strip tillage has been
developed. The development was done by using wheel axis of hand tractor for
driven rotor fertilizer applicator and metering device corn planter. Planting
furrows were made into two furrows on a single pass with strip tillage. The
objective of this study was to develop and to conduct performance test of the
corn planting and fertilizing for strip tillage. Stationer test result showed
that the fertilizer applicator and corn planter performance could be metering
20.71 g/m NPK fertilizer and 1-3 seeds of corn per planting hole respectively.
Field test result showed that the fertilizer applicator and corn planter
performance could be metering 15.88 g/m NPK fertilizer and 1-2 seeds of corn
per planting hole respectively. Mean seed spacing was 21.5 cm which was longer
than the theoretical seed spacing (20 cm). Fertilizer and seed hopper capacity
were 16.53 kg and 1kg respectively. Effective fieldcapacity was 0.147 ha/h (low-1)and
0.350 ha/h (low-2) and efficiency for respective speed was 76.24% and 83.78%.
