Abstract
This study was conducted on the developed Nibex planter, which originally designed mainly for planting on the flat ground, to be suitable for establishing the ridges while planting operation, by manufacturing beam, furrow opener replacing and fixed the manufactured ridge on the frame for establishing the ridge to the fabricated hoe wing which dragging the soil to the top of ridge that surrounding the sugar beet plant. The aim of this work is to develop and construct a ridge to be maximizing exploitation. The equipment was tested under different operating conditions, at wide of ridge (0.60, 0.70 single row ridge and 1.0 m double – row ridge), depth of ridger (0.10, 0.15, and 0.20 m), distance between plants ( 0.1, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25 m) and tractor forward speed (0.42, 0.67, 1.03 and 1.36 m/s). The results showed that the optimum forward speed is 0.42 m/s, wide of ridge 0.60 one row, distance between plants 0.2 m and depth of ridger 0.20 m respectively where converted flat soil to ridge with high efficiency, maximizing the benefiting of the developed planter, decreasing the energy requirements by 46.5% by increasing forward speed from 0.42 to 1.36 m/s and increasing root and sugar yield by 16.2 and 9.6% respectively about the recorded data for Nibex planter before modification.
