Wang Baoliang, Wang Zheng, Meng Weiguo, Lu Kai, Jia Shouliang, Xue Jinlin
Abstract20)      PDF (5933KB)(187)      
 In order to solve the challenges of unable to perform targeted spraying and poor applicability in the strip intercropping of soybean and corn, A selfpropelled spray boom sprayer designed for this planting mode has been developed. This spray machine is capable of directional and heightadjustable spraying, preventing drift between rows. Firstly, based on the agricultural requirements of the new planting mode, the spraying plan is determined. Then, the specific parameters of the 4+2 planting mode in Jiangsu Province are used to determine the design of key devices for the spray machine, including the height adjustment device for the spray boom, the folding device for the spray boom, and the drift prevention device. Finally, soybeancorn strip intercropping spraying experiments are conducted at the soybean farm in Guanyun County. The prototypes height adjustment, folding device, and drift prevention performance are tested and verified. The results show that the height adjustment and folding devices can effectively carry out chemical weed control and chemical growth regulation for corn and soybean. The drift prevention device reduces liquid droplet drift by 92.52%.

Abstract260)      PDF (955KB)(484)      
The integrated technology of water and fertilizer has the advantages of saving time and labor, saving water and fertilizer, increasing production, improving environmental conditions and so on. It has been widely used in agricultural production. Sichuan Province is a major province of sericulture and cultivation. The application of waterfertilizer integration technology can effectively alleviate the uneven distribution of water resources in the mulberry park, effectively improve the yield and quality of mulberry leaves, and promote the sustainable development of the industry. By combing the research and application of the technology of waterfertilizer integration in Sichuan, it is concluded that the application of the technology of waterfertilizer integration in Sichuan is mainly concentrated in fruit and vegetable cash crops, and less in mulberry orchard. It analyzed the factors restricting the application of waterfertilizer integration technology in mulberry gardens, such as the high maintenance cost of equipment, the difficulty of technology application and promotion, and the lack of supporting intelligent equipment, and further proposed to carry out the research on the new technology of waterfertilizer integration in mulberry gardens suitable for hills and mountains, improve the application model of waterfertilizer integration technology in typical mulberry areas, and promote the research and development of intelligent waterfertilizer integration irrigation system. In order to accelerate the application and popularization of water and fertilizer integration technology in Sichuan mulberry garden.

Abstract68)      PDF (2205KB)(133)      
In view of the problems such as obvious soil disturbance, undulation of seeding depth and poor moisture retention capacity of furrow when no-tillage seeder is applied to reseeding of degraded grassland, a multifunctional furrow opening device is designed, which integrates functions of cutting roots, opening furrows and returning soil. A flat disc is used to break the soil and cut the roots. Then an inverted T-furrow opener is applied to form a stable furrow and clean the roots around the seeds. In the final stage, the soil-returning mechanism is applied to bury the seeds with the soil that has been squeezed out of the ground during the furrow opening process. The discrete element method was used to assist the design of the multifunctional furrow opening device. Hertz-Mindlin with JKR contact model was applied to create a discrete element soil model. The results of discrete element method simulation showed that the best operation effect of inverted T-furrow opener was achieved when the connecting shank was vertical. Analyzing the force of the soil-returning mechanism, the stiffness coefficient of the spring was determined to be 0.6 N/mm, and the initial pressure of the spring was determined to be 60 N. Field experiment and discrete element simulation test were carried out to verify the operation effect of the multifunctional integrated trenching device. The test results show that the optimal operating speed range of the device is 0.8-1.2 m/s. The soil disturbance was small and the side ridge width was not more than 50 mm. The grooving depth is stable and controllable, and the fluctuation of the grooving depth does not exceed 5 mm. The operation effect of soil return mechanism is good, which is helpful to improve the soil moisture retention ability of planting ditch.

Abstract52)      PDF (797KB)(76)      
Aiming at the problems of high rate of leakage and damage of potato, a special sweet potato killing machine was designed. The machine was provided with traction force and working power by working tractor. During operation, the sweet potato vine was hit, knead and cut into fragments under the combined action of crushing and swinging knife, shield and fixed knife, and then thrown into the field. The machine included frame, transmission system, seedling picking device, crushing device, suspension system and other components. The machine was designed on both sides of the front end of the picking mechanism, which was composed of picking teeth, picking plate, copying plate and compression spring, which could lift and crush potato seedlings on both sides and bottom of potato ridge. The straight cutter was selected and divided into three types such as ridge top cutter, ridge side cutter and ridge bottom cutter, and reasonable arrangement was made according to the ridge shape size to realize the imitation ridge operation. The use of side transmission and  synchronous drive mode was to ensure that the crushing tool roller power was sufficient and stable. With the limited depth adjustment device, the working height could be adjusted to prevent damage to the potato block. The prototype trial production and field test were completed. The test results showed that when the forward speed of the tractor was 3.6 km/h, the qualified rate of the cutting length of the sweet potato killing machine was 92%, the planting height was 13.5 mm, the missing rate was 3.3%, and the damage rate was 0.66%, which met the requirements of use.

Wang Ruiyuan, Wang Jiahong, Yan Yu, Zhu Guohong, Ye Hongbao
Abstract43)      PDF (1976KB)(76)      
In order to solve the problem that the skin of kiwifruit is easily scratched during picking, a new type of enveloping airbag gripper based on pneumatic control of airbag expansion and contraction to achieve fruit storage and encapsulation was designed. By increasing the area of contact between the fruit and the gripper, reducing the compression on the fruit, the harvesting success rate was improved without damage to the fruit. The mechanical structure of the airbag gripper was designed by capturing and shearing the fruit from the bottom upwards. Through finite element simulation to analyze the force situation between the airbag and the fruit during picking, it was proved that the force point of the designed gripper was mainly on the upper and lower surfaces of the airbag gripper with a high fit. After the field picking test, the picking success rate and damage rate of the airbag gripper under different air pressure were tested. The best picking effect was achieved when the air pressure of the gripper was 40 kPa, with a success rate of 95%, and the damage rate curve was most similar to hand picking.

Zhang Wenxiang, Zhang Bingyuan, Gong Yu, Ren Ni.
Abstract3658)      PDF (816KB)(1740)      
Fruit and vegetable picking is an important part of agricultural production, and it relies heavily on manual labor. The development and application of picking robots will greatly reduce labor dependence of picking operations. The picking robotic arm is a key part of the picking robot and a major focus of research on the picking robot. This paper classified the picking manipulators by the degree of freedom, and summarized the development process and research status of the picking manipulators in China and the rest of the world. Aiming at the problem of lack of standardized solutions in thechoice of freedom and configuration of the picking robotic arm for the same fruit and vegetable in the same cultivation mode, it is proposed that indepth integration of the picking manipulator research and agronomy is the key to solving the problem in future. At the same time, considering that the rigid body is difficult to adapt to the picking environment as well as the joint drive mode being single, it is believed that the flexible design of the picking manipulator body and the combined use of the drive mode will be the future development trend.

Peng Hong.
Abstract491)      PDF (241KB)(800)      
 Under the background of global trade liberalization, it is of great significance to explore its impact on Chinas agricultural exports from the perspective of trade facilitation to enhance Chinas agricultural export competitiveness. This study selected the panel data of agricultural products exports between China and 10 ASEAN countries from 2010 to 2019 and established four primary indicators such as infrastructure, customs environment, regulatory environment, and ecommerce, as well as aviation infrastructure, customs procedures, and 17 secondary indicators such as policy transparency are used to construct the evaluation index system of trade facilitation. The article used the extended gravity model to analyze the primary influencing factors of trade facilitation empirically. The results showed obvious differences in trade facilitation among ASEAN countries, and there was still much room for improvement. The infrastructure efficiency, customs environment, and regulatory environment in the primary indicators of trade facilitation in ASEAN had a significant positive effect on agricultural exports. In contrast, ecommerce had no significant impact on Chinas agricultural exports. Based on the empirical results, the study proposed that ASEAN trading countries should strengthen infrastructure construction, optimize the construction of customs and institutional environment, and improve domestic Internet technology and penetration rate from the perspective of development indicators of trade facilitation to promote the improvement of their trade facilitation level. At the same time, it also put forward from the perspective of China that different development countermeasures should be taken for countries with different development levels of ASEAN trade facilitation in order to promote Chinas agricultural exports.

Zhang Yonghong, Li Yuchao, Dong Tiantian, Qin Xiayang, Liu Yunping, Cao Jingxing
Abstract75)      PDF (9241KB)(171)      
Aiming at the problem that the recognition technology of harvesting robots in crop picking was limited by complex background interference in unstructured environments, especially due to occlusion by foliage and the overlapping of fruits, resulting in lower accuracy in identification, an improved YOLOv5 algorithm was proposed based on the improved research approach involving postprocessing of the model. Initially, the centroid distance of fruit targets, the actual difference in predicted box width and height, and the intersectionoverunion of areas were collectively considered as loss terms. This was aimed at enhancing the accuracy of predicted box sizes. Furthermore, the centroid distance was utilized as a penalty term weighted by the intersectionoverunion score to improve the recognition capability for densely clustered targets. Subsequently, auxiliary training heads were incorporated to provide additional gradient information, thereby preventing overfitting. Through comparative analysis of loss values using multiple loss functions and assessing the model improve mentaccuracy, the effectiveness of the enhancements was experimentally validated. Finally, the deployment onto the robot confirmed the feasibility of the proposed improvements. The results indicated that the improved algorithm model achieved an average accuracy of 95.6%, with a recall rate of 90.1%. Compared to the preimprovement overall class accuracy, there was an increase of 0.4 percentage points in both accuracy and recall rate, meeting the recognition requirements for harvesting robots.
