However, the seed bounce in the falling process and drought seriously at the seedling stage often occur to affect the sowing quality, mean emergence time, percentage of emergence, root biomass, aboveground biomass and root shoot ratio of maize, and eventually reduces the grain yield. To solve the problems, a seed furrow liquid spraying device was designed and thereby the effects of spraying water volumes [0 L/m (V0), 0.6 L/m (V1), 1.2 L/m (V2) and 1.8 L/m (V3)] and nozzle types [conical nozzle (N1) and sectorial nozzle (N2)] on the sowing quality and seedling growth of maize were studied. The water volume and nozzle type had TI - Effects of seed furrow liquid spraying device on sowing quality and seedling growth of maize JF - International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering DO - 10.25165/j.ijabe.20191202.3799 DA - 2019-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/effects-of-seed-furrow-liquid-spraying-device-on-sowing-quality-and-1IP3XZqxBu DP - DeepDyve ER -
