Abstract:High-quality seeding operation is a key link in the seeding process of precision agriculture and smart agriculture, which is mainly completed through the coordination of processes such as furrow opening, seed metering and guiding, soil covering and soil compacting. The working performance of soil- engaging components such as furrowing, soil-covering, and pressing affects the final seeding quality by acting on the various stages of the seeding process. Based on the structure and types of the soil-engaging components in seeding operations, the basic structures and forms of existing typical and a typical products were summarized. Focusing on the improvement of operational quality such as low disturbance, anti- adhesion and anti-sticking of soil-engaging components, the research on component-soil interaction mechanism, the adjustment mechanism, and the intelligent monitoring of operating status, the research status of relevant technologies in China and abroad were elaborated in detail. Based on the above research status, the main existing problems of soil-engaging components in seeding operations were identified as follows: a single structural form of components, insufficient industrialization transformation, weak adaptability to high-speed operations, inadequate intelligent regulation and control capabilities, and lagging material and process levels. Totally five development prospects were summarized: modularization and adjustable technology for soil-engaging components tailored to meet the needs of multiple agricultural modes, bionic drag reduction and lightweight structure technology for efficient and low-consumption soil- engaging components, dynamic matching and speed adaptive control technology suitable for high-speed operation scenarios, closed-loop regulation and perception decision-making technology for active operation and intelligent linkage, and advanced wear-resistant material preparation and high-precision forming process technology.
