Popis: A distributed seed delivery system is the most important component of a pneumatic central-cylinder seeder. We performed a fluent simulation analysis for seed-drop tubes at different parameters and airflow velocities, and with an increase in air velocity, the larger the angle is, the easier it is to produce a vortex, which considerably changes the angle, with the little bend tube improving the uniformity of seeding performance. The distribution of rice seeds in the seeding furrow using seed-drop tubes of different angles was also analyzed, and with an increase in delivery airflow velocity, the rice-sowing belts aggregated toward the seeding furrow central line, and with an increase in the forward speed, the seed distribution in the forward-speed direction presented an aggregation and then dispersion trend. The field experiment and physiological indices show that the yield of germination acceleration by seed pelleting can reach 7.92 t. ha−1, which was significantly higher than the yields with other treatments.
