Studying The Possibility of Utilizing Grain Drill (Gaspardo Sc-250 ) in Planting Two Types of Different Crops

Abstract

A Field experiment was carried out in fields of the College of Agriculture and Forestry/ University of Mosul in Ninevah governorate ,The soil texture was silty clay , the aim of this study was Possibility of Utilizing grain Drill (GASPARDO SC-250) in Planting two type of different crops under three levels of speed sowing (4-5 and 7-8 and 10-11) km/h , two levels of sowing rates (15 and 20) kg/don. and two levels of crop type (chickpea and green bean) were used to study characteristics . The study indicated that the Possibility of Utilizing grain Drill (GASPARDO SC-250) in Planting two crops of chickpea and green bean after carrying out all field adjustment and laboratory of the grain drill and before beginning to sowing operation , the speed (4-5) km/h has proved surpassed significant and proved the highest results for the characteristics (percentage germination laboratory % , percentage germination field % , No. of seed /5m length and percentage of seed fall inter the perfect depth %) whereas has proved the lowest results for the following characteristics (percentage of seed damage % , losses from accredited sowing rate) to comparison with two speed (7-8 and 10-11) km/h respectively whereas has proved the sowing rate (20) kg/don. The best results in all the characteristics except were the percentage of seed damage % to comparison with sowing rate (15) kg/don. , while the different type of crops did not significant in all the characteristics except the percentage of seed damage % with green bean crop and has proved surpassed significant with chickpea crop and the highest percentage of seed damage , despite did not significant with interaction characteristics factors but was different results in all the studies characteristics. According to the above results the study found the possibility of using grain drill (GASPARDO SC-250) in the planting of chickpeas and beans, but after taking into consideration all laboratory and field arrangements of the grain drill and before starting the process of planting .
