This paper presents the concept and design of a punch planter for smallholder farmers. The design and development of the planter was conducted using the design methodology approach in four phases: informational, conceptual, preliminary and detailed. Participatory inputs from a group of smallholder woman farmers from Lesotho were also considered. Smallholder farmers are responsible for almost 70% of food produced worldwide, but seedling technologies specifically designed for this public are rare. The majority of punch planters available are either too big or expensive, or adaptations from disc planters are needed, and requiring animal or tractor to pull it. Punch planters reduces the power demand in planting, being very suitable for conservationist practices. A prototype was manufactured with a novel seed metering unit able to individualise seeds and to work with seeds of different types and sizes. Field tests have been conducted, but more tests are needed to make it available for the market.

“…The seed metering system had a vertical rotating disc to drop single seeds into the ground holes. Adekoya and Buchele (1987) recognized that the application of punch planter apparatus as an agreeable idea in no-till planting method was very useful because of little amount of scattered soil. Debicki and Shaw (1996) developed a spade-punch planter and tested with soybean, corn, and sugar beet seeds.…”

This study attempts to improve planting common bean in different soils. Punch planting method was used and the effect of different openers and rice husk mulch as a new idea in punch planting was tested. A factorial experiment in Completely randomized design was implemented in the farm of Shahrekord University. Shahrekord has a temperate and cold region with dry and warm summer. Common bean was planted to test the seedbed shape (bar, conical and grooved), sowing depth (6 and 9 cm) and the seedbed mulching (with husk and without it). The percentage of emerged plants at the time of dividing in two leaves, average height of bushes in flowering and average leaf number of each bush in flowering, the rate of height growth and the number of leaves over day and night (appropriate time of measurement from budding to flowering was considered) were measured. The grooved shape and seed coverage using rice husk mulch are recommended. There were no significant differences in depth factor.

“…Para solucionar os problemas encontrados na semeadura em sulco, há mais de quatro décadas vários pesquisadores, dentre eles: Jafari & Fornstrom (1972), Heinemann Júnior et al (1973, Adekoya & Buchele (1987), Bonnin (2000, Molin et al (1998) e Resende (2002, desenvolveram máquinas para fazer a semeadura em covas equidistantes; entretanto, ainda não existe no mercado uma solução confiável, devido às dificuldades encontradas para transferir as sementes do dosador para dentro das covas, a fim de evitar o entupimento das punções e para operar em velocidades elevadas; em contrapartida, algumas máquinas desenvolvidas eram muito complexas.…”

Realizou-se este trabalho com o objetivo de desenvolver uma semeadora pontual para o semeio de milho em sistema de plantio direto e avaliar seu sistema de dosagem e distribuição de sementes. Primeiro, elaborou-se uma lista de requisitos os quais a máquina deveria atender; depois, foi feito o projeto conceitual do corpo da máquina e, em seguida, o projeto detalhado de todas as partes e conjuntos, para posterior construção do protótipo. Em bancada de ensaio avaliou-se o desempenho do sistema dosador e distribuidor de sementes, em relação à variação da velocidade e da quantidade de punções utilizada. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados arranjados em parcelas subdivididas com a parcela principal composta por 6, 9 e 12 punções e a subparcela sendo quatro rotações da roda dosadora correspondentes às velocidades de deslocamento de 4, 6, 8 e 10 km h-1. De modo geral, tanto o aumento da velocidade como do número de punções nas rodas, diminuiu o número de duplas e aumentou o número de faltas, porém a diminuição do número de duplas não foi significativo quanto ao aumento do número de faltas. A semeadora exerceu desempenho satisfatório, com média geral do número de normais de 91%.
