Abstract

This study consists of a technical analysis of seeders, with the objective of identifying the use, types and care, as well as their characteristics considering the view of a group of farmers. This research is important to identify the efficiency of sowers since they are essential for a correct sowing process, contributing significantly to the success of the harvest. To this end, a survey was conducted with 14 farmers, in December 2022, in the municipality of Coronel Bicaco - RS, directly in rural properties, through the application of a questionnaire with closed questions, with answer options and open questions. It was concluded that the two most used brands were John Deere and Semeato. Most have 11 lines, 5 cm deep and 45 cm of spacing between lines. Both those who operate and who regulate are the farmers and the main difficulty is in the fertilizer. 78% wash and lubricate the seeder every day. Most producers have acquired the new seeder, the most desired technology among all is that of sower with directed jet. 50% of the seeders are mechanical and another 50% pneumatic. All responded that the implement meets their needs.
