ABSTRACT:The seeding process was the operation that suffered the most changes in no-tillage system due the cover crop soil and new particle soil arrangement. The objective of this study was to verify the effects of loads applied to the wheels and adjustments of sowing depth on seedling emergence of corn in no-tillage system. The experimental design was completely randomized with a factorial arrangement 5x4, with five loads applied to the wheels and four theoretical sowing depth adjustments. The real sowing depth increased in the lower theoretical depth and decreased in the higher theoretical depth, due to the compaction loads. Regarding the time of emergence, loads applied had not influence at the greater depths. Emergence time decreased with the load increase in the lower depths. Thus, the adjustment of the compactor wheels can influence in the corn seeding process.KEYWORDS: seeding process, no-tillage, farm mechanization. EMERGÊNCIA DO MILHO CONFORME PROFUNDIDADE DE DEPOSIÇÃO DE SEMENTES E CARGA APLICADA NAS RODAS COMPACTADORASRESUMO: Devido à presença da cobertura vegetal e ao novo arranjo das partículas do solo no sistema de plantio direto (SPD), o processo de semeadura foi a operação que sofreu as maiores transformações. Sendo assim, objetivou-se verificar o efeito de cargas aplicadas nas rodas compactadoras e de regulagens da profundidade na semeadura de milho em SPD. O delineamento utilizado foi o inteiramente aleatorizado, com arranjo fatorial 5x4, com cinco cargas aplicadas nas rodas compactadoras e quatro regulagens de profundidades teóricas de deposição de sementes. A profundidade real de deposição de sementes aumentou na menor profundidade teórica e diminuiu na maior profundidade teórica, conforme aumento das cargas de compactação. Quanto ao tempo de emergência, nas maiores profundidades teóricas, não houve influência da carga aplicada. Para as menores profundidades, o tempo de emergência diminui com o aumento da carga. Assim, a regulagem das rodas compactadoras pode influenciar no processo de semeadura do milho.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: processo de semeadura, plantio direto, mecanização agrícola.
