Disclosed is a variable-size and variable-amount topdressing device. The device includes a main frame; an image recognition unit; a variable-amount fertilizer applying portion; two electric push rods which are vertically and fixedly connected to inner opposite surfaces of the main frame respectively; and a variable-size fertilizer applying portion arranged at an output end of the variable-amount fertilizer applying portion, where a height of the variable-size fertilizer applying portion is adjusted by the two electric push rods, an output end of the variable-size fertilizer applying portion is arranged corresponding to the output end of the variable-amount fertilizer applying portion, and the variable-size fertilizer applying portion is used for adjusting a fertilizer applying range. The variable-amount fertilizer applying portion, the variable-size fertilizer applying portion and the two electric push rods are electrically connected to the image recognition unit.

A spreader device includes a container to contain spread substance, a first spreader portion having a first rotor to spray the spread substance contained in the container, a second spreader portion having a second rotor to spray the spread substance contained in the container, a first driver source to drive the first rotor, a first shaft to transmit a driving force outputted from the first driver source, a second shaft to transmit a driving force outputted from a second driver source different from the first driver source, and a selection transmitter portion to selectively transmit the driving force form the first shaft and the driving force from the second shaft to the first rotor or the second rotor.

An attachment assembly for the disc of a mobile agricultural device, including a washer configured to attach to a disc of the mobile agricultural device. The washer may be attached to a center location of the disc. The washer is operatively connected to a deflector bar. The deflector bar substantially prevents debris from accumulating between the disc and a fertilizer assembly attached to the disc, as the disc rotates. The deflector bar in other embodiments, may be directly connected to a fertilizer assembly, rather than to the washer.

A device for attaching to a shank of a planting unit. The device may include liquid delivery tubing for delivery fertilizer to a planting furrow and a forming bar configured for securing to the shank. The forming bar may include a passageway extending therethrough for receiving and passing through fertilizer or other liquid that is delivered to the liquid delivery tubing. The forming bar may include a shank connecting portion, a rib portion, and a foot portion. The rib and foot portions may define the passageway. Further, the foot portion may protect the tubing. A method for using the device to deliver fertilizer to a seed furrow is also described.
