Summary

Due to the problem of residues blocking and seriously damaged bed shape during the planting of wheat in maize stubble coverage fields under the condition of permanent raised beds in irrigated agricultural region of Northwest China, the throwing stubble and renovating the bed type no-till planter for wheat was designed. This paper mainly analyzed the reshaping plough, moving cutter and throwing stubble device. Furthermore, the key parameters were analyzed and determined. The field experiment showed that through adopting the anti-blocking principle that combined moving cutter and throwing stubble device and residue-cutting by knife type opener, the machine could solve the residue and weed blocking problem effectively. It also has a good performance of passing and cutting stubble, and renovating the beds. The seeding and fertilizing depths acquired by the planter were 47.2 mm and 85.6 mm, respectively, which indicates the planter could meet the requirements of wheat no-tillage planting in permanent raised beds farming system in agricultural region of Northwest China.
