Abstract

The performance of the onion planting machine was investigated field condition to optimize the design and operating parameters for onion planting. The effect of operational speed of disc, and shape of the entry of plant spacing (coefficient of Variation) then crank mechanism put the plant and pushing downward direction. Optimization of the regression equations incorporating speed of the disc and operating vacuum pressure through iteration further revealed that a disc, operating at speeds from 0.34 to 0.44 m/s, yielded similar performance. Based on the optimized operational parameter, performance indices of the onion planting machine were determined under field condition by measuring the distribution of onion plants spacing.
