Device for shaping a furrow profile, sensing soil properties and dosing fluids
Device for shaping the profile of a furrow, sensing soil properties and dosing fluids in the soil of an agricultural field, includes a body comprising an upper portion and lower portion defining a right lateral face and a left lateral face that are laterally opposite, a front face and a rear face that are longitudinally opposite, and an upper face and lower face that are vertically opposite, wherein the laterally opposite faces at the lower portion of the body are angled relative to a vertical direction forming a V-shaped profile cross section for V-shaping furrows; damping and biasing means linked to the upper face of the body; a fluid dosing conduit including an inlet and an outlet, and being longitudinally arranged within the body; sensing means on a face of the body for measuring soil properties; and a sensing unit for commanding the sensing means and receiving information thereof.
Apparatus, system and method for planting
An apparatus for supporting a plant includes a growing compartment and a drill head. The drill head comprises a channel for receiving the plant and is operable to rotationally drill a hole. The drill head opens to release the plant into the hole. A drilling apparatus includes a frame supporting the drill head, a motor to rotate the drill head, and an actuator to displace the drill head.
