Mechanical approach to the improvement of meadows management
During the recent years the applications of modern machinery and the use of methods were considered necessary for all works and certainly in works which deal with the management and the improvement of pasturelands and meadows. The development of machinery has led to their equipment with electronic settings and automations. All these mechanisms, which are multivarious, are helpful for the determination and the increase of efficiency as well as to the decrease of the production cost. In this paper was carried out the determination of the theoretical efficiency of a modern seeding- machinery in a meadow from the instant volume (m3/s) and the weight (kg/s) of grains based on the working width and the speed forwarding. In order to carry out the determination of efficiency of the specific seeding machinery it has been used the modern technology by which it is equipped and concerns the support of micro-computers as well as the sensors of various types.
