Külvijad
Külvijad, also known as seed drills or planters, are agricultural implements used for sowing seeds into the soil. They are designed to ensure uniform seed distribution and depth, which is crucial for optimal seed germination and plant growth. Külvijad are typically towed behind tractors and can be operated manually or with hydraulic assistance. The primary components of a külvijad include the seed hopper, which holds the seeds, and the seed tubes or planter units, which deliver the seeds into the soil at the desired depth and spacing. The depth and spacing can be adjusted to suit different crop types and soil conditions. Külvijad are essential tools in modern agriculture, contributing to increased crop yields and reduced labor requirements. They are available in various sizes and configurations, ranging from small hand-operated models to large, high-capacity machines suitable for commercial farming. The use of külvijad has significantly evolved over time, incorporating advanced technologies such as GPS guidance and precision farming capabilities to further enhance their efficiency and accuracy.
