Field trials were carried out on the adhesive tape system at Selçuk University Faculty of Agriculture Sarıcalar Research and Production Farm, and laboratory experiments were carried out on the adhesive tape system at Selçuk University Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Agricultural Machinery and Technologies Engineering. Field trials were carried out at a working speed of 5.4 km h-1, and adhesive tape experiments were carried out at a tape speed corresponding to a working speed of 5.4 km h-1. According to laboratory and field conditions; Acceptable seed spacing values of 0.5-1.5Z were found to be over 80%, and 0.5 <Z and 1.5Z were found to be below 10%. After the stubble sowing process, soil surface roughness values were determined as 14.28% on the axe-type burying foot and 16.35% on the double-disc burying foot. Fuel consumption was determined as 10.90 l ha-1 for the pneumatic precision stubble seeder with ax cultivator foots, and 9.81 l ha-1 for the pneumatic precision stubble seeder with disc cultivator. The FGE (field germination emergence rate) rate of the pneumatic seeder with an ax-type planter foot was determined as 87.30%, and the FGE rate of the pneumatic precision seeder with a double disc-type planter foot was determined as 85.50%. Ax-type planter foot gave better results than disc foot in terms of surface profile unevenness, field germination emergence rate and sowing depth in both applications.}, number={2}, publisher={Selcuk University}
