In order to save labor and cost, direct seeding has been considered as an important alternative to the machine transplanting in rice cultivation. Current direct seeding machines for rice in Korea drill irregularly under various operating conditions. This study was conducted to develope a precision seeder which enables the accurate, even-spaced in row placement of rice seeds at uniform depths of 3-4 cm on dry paddy. Design, construction and performance evaluation of the precision seeder were carried out. The tractor rear-mounted type 8-rows precision seeder which performs seeding in addition to fertilizing, ditching, and rotary tilling works on dry paddy was developed. Main components of the seeder were ditcher and leveller, rotary tiller, powered roller type furrow opener, seeding device, powered roller type furrow covering and firming device, hydraulic unit, seeding speed control system, power transmission system, hitch and frame. Ditching, furrow opening, and seed covering and firming performances were good and seeding depths of 2-4 cm could be maintained. Planting accuracies and planting precisions were within 13.6%, and 31.2%, respectively, for planting space of 15 cm, and seeding velocity of 0.5 m/s. These mean variations of average planting space were within 2.1 cm, and 90% of seeds in a hill were seeded within 4.7 cm of hill length, respectively. Error ratios between setting planting space and measured average planting space were shown within 6.7%. Therefore the seeder showed good planting performance up to seeding velocity of 0.5 m/s in field tests. And field capacity of the seeder was about 0.28 ha/hour.

최근 맥류 파종기의 잦은 강우로 파종이 늦어지는 경우가 많은데 기존의 파종방법으로는 습한 포장에서의 파종이 쉽지 않아 만파의 유인 중 하나가 되고 있다. 이에 따라 과습 상태의 토양에서도 논에서 맥류의 파종이 가능한 새로운 파종 법의 개발이 필요하다. '99년에 벼 파종용으로 개발된 부분 경운 건답 직파기를 이용하여 논에서 맥류를 파종할 때의 생육 및 수량에 대해 $2001{\sim}2003$년에 걸쳐 시험하였다. 가. 배수 후 $1{\sim}3$일, 즉 토양수분이 각각 50% 이상, 40%, $27{\sim}30%$를 보이는 토양에서 휴립 광산파와 세조파의 경우는 정상적인 파종이 불가능하였으나 부분경운 파종기를 사용하여 파종한 경우 토양수분 40%(배수 후 2일)만 되어도 정상적인 작업이 이루어져 파종이 가능하였고 초기 생육도 양호하였다. 반면 세조파종법과 휴립광산파는 토양수분 40%에서 뿐만 아니라 토양수분이 27%로 낮아져도 작업기주변에 흙이 범벅이 되어 종자가 흙과 함께 쓸려가 제 위치에 종자가 놓이지 못하였다. 이로 인해 파종법사이의 보리 입모 차이가 확연하였다. 나, 토양수분 함량 30-40%(배수후 2일)에 파종된 부분 경운파종구의 생육을 세조파종구와 비교해 볼 때 부분경운 파종기 구의 입모수가 충분히 확보되었고 이로 인해 수수도 충분히 확보되어 같은 수분함량에서 파종된 휴립광산파와 세조파에 비해 높은 수량을 보였다. 벼를 위해 개발된 부분경운파종법은 토양 과습시 보리의 파종작업에 유리한 점이 많아 농가에 보급되어 벼, 보리 모두에 이용 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 다. 부분경운파종기에 부착된 배토기의 배수로 폭이 14cm로 좁고 깊이도 일반배토기에 비해 얕아 배수로 역할을 제대로 하지 못하였으므로 파종 후 과습이 계속될 경우에는 추가적인 배수로 보완 또는 작성 작업이 필요하며 잡초도 일반 포장에 비해 많이 발생할 우려가 있음이 보고되고 있어 적기에 잡초방제를 해야 할 것이다.

Direct-seeded rice can have comparable yield with transplanted rice if its inherent problems can be solved. It is a labor-saving technology and can significantly reduce production cost because seedling nursery , pulling , and transplanting are omitted. Turnaround time between cropping is reduced hence the possibility of a third annual crop. But direct-seeded rice is very vulnerable to pest attack (by birds, rats, and golden snails), desiccation, weed infestation, and prone to lodging resulting to unstable crop establishment and inconsistent yield. These problems can be solved by anaerobic seeding (sowing pre-germinated seeds under the soil). It requires precise seed placement into the soil to optimize its benefits. We developed a four-row anaerobic direct seeder (US $ 200 commercial price) for this purpose . It consist of a structural framework mounted with a drum -hopper metering device, flotation type drivewheels, spring-loaded and adjustable furrow closers, and furrow open rs, and a plastic rainguard. It can sow in line pre-germinated seeds into the soil thus permitting the use of mechanical weeders for a chemical-free weed control. Its performance was comparable with the Japanese two-row anaerobic seeder (costing US$400) in terms of seed placement and crop establishment. It was tested with five cultivars. Seeding rate varied from 38 kg/ha to 80kg/ha. Crop establishment ranged from 64 to 99 percent while grain yield varied from 3.0 t/ha to 5.4t/ha. A six-row anaerobic seeder was also developed and adapted to a powertiller for increased capacity , field efficiency , and easier operation. The anaerobic seeder is useful to farmers shifting to direct seeding to reduce rice production cost and to researchers conducting agronomic studies in direct-seeded rice. Blueprint of the machine is available free of charge from IRRI.

This research was performed to develope a stable direct seeding method in rice cultivation using by a direct seeder with soil application. A principle of this methodology was introduced from seeding nursery system of machine transplanting enable to increase high seeding establishment direct seeding method with soil application was high of 89-95% while that of water seeding was 68%. During seeding growth plant height was ralatively small but seeding health was high. A total soil consumption of this methodology was 145kg/10a in dirll seeding and 26kg/10a in hill seeding respectively, there was 100% erected in direct seeding with soil application while water seeding was 45% in erected seeding stand. In direct seeding method with soil application total carbohydrate content was higher than that of water seeding. This machine was manufactured to attach and/or detach to a machine transplanter with riding type and machine cultivator with multipurpose. In the farmer's demonstrated rice field this method was well performed like machine transplanting in terms of rice growth and development. There was highly cost reduction for rice production like other direct seeding methods.

A seeder monitoring system was developed to solve the problems of mis-sowing and tube clogging in direct seeding machines, which have been one of the factors that reduce the performance of sowing operations. The system consisted of photo sensors, air nozzles, an air compressor, and a one-chip micro-computer based controller. The system was also equipped with the devices that perform the functions of self-checking and intermittent air injection for cleaning seed tubes. The performance of the system was tested in the laboratory and field. Using the well-cleaned rice seed, the average time for checking the mis-sowing was 1.37 seconds in the field and 1.2 seconds in the laboratory without any malfunction. Overall evaluation of the system indicated that the system can be utilized for seeding machines not only for paddies but beans and corns.

A series of soil bin experiment was carried to investigate the effects of rotary blade shape, rotational direction of rotary blade, number of blade and soil cutting disk blade on the characteristics of partial tillage. Among the three types of rotary blades, rotary blade for cultivator was considered to be proper for partial tillage of direct seeder considering the torque requirements and ratio of soil breaking. There is no need to attach so many blades to the rotary shaft. Four rotary blades were enough for efficient partial tillage by rotary tiller. Though soil cutting disk blade assisted the better formation of seedbed furrow, attachment of the soil cutting disk blade increased torque requirements.

Standard ginseng seedling, selected after one year's rearing in the seedling bed has been conventionally transplanted in Korea. Recently, the direct seeding areas have been increasing to product high quality ginsengs for red-ginseng processing. Reciprocating push-rod brush, holed-roller and vacuum suction seeders, planting with 30 ${\times}$ 30mm spacings and adjustable to the folds were designed and theirs performances were evaluated. The developed three types of seeders reliably performed at the success rate over 95% with less than 10% in slip rate, and could be used a seeder for the greater spacings by adjusting metering parts. The research concluded that the vacuum suction seeder was the most feasible and practical with the greatest metering success and the least slip among three type seeders of the reciprocating push-rod brush, holed-roller and vacuum suction seeders. The vacuum suction seeder holds a seed with each needle nozzle using the negative pressure created by a vacuum pump. The capacity was 24.5 times greater than a man power at the speed of 5 m/min.

배수불량답이 많이 분포하여 건답직파재배가 어려운 호남평야지에 알맞는 무논골뿌림재배의 적정 파종방법 및 파종후 담수시기를 밝히고자 만금벼를 공시하고 파종방법과 파종후 담수시기를 달리하여 1992년에 미사질양토인 전북통에서 수행한 시험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 입모율은 이앙기부착기와 관리기부착기간에는 별 차이가 없었으나 살립기에 의한 토중직파에서는 매우 낮았다. 2. 파종 소요시간은 살립기<관리기부착기<이앙기부착기 순으로 적었으며 육묘 및 이앙작업이 성약되어 어린모기계이앙보다 노력절감 효과가 컸다. 3. 도복은 세 파종방법 모두 어린모기계이앙보다 약간 심하였고 수량은 동력살립기에 의한 파종을 제외하고는 어린모기계이앙과 비슷하였다. 4. 파종직후 담수하는 것이 출아기가 빠르고 입모율이 높았으며 잡초발생양도 적었다. 5. 파종직후 담수하는 것이 수수 및 $m^2$당 입수가 많아 다소 증수하는 경향이었다.
