Programa computacional para a seleção de conjuntos trator-semeadora-adubadora

Abstract

The use of computer programs in agriculture allows simulating operational conditions and facilitating decision making during the planning and selection of the Moto mechanized system. Among these decisions, one of the most complexes is the selection of suitable agricultural machines and implements, due to the large number of options on the market and the different tasks and work situations they are subjected to in the field. For this reason, the objective was to develop software for the selection of tractor-seeder-fertilizer sets, based on the characteristics of the tractor, seeder and soil, which would enable the database management of tractors and seeders. The VB.NET language was used for the development of the computer program, which, due to its intuitive interface, made possible a simple interaction between the user and the computer. The use of the MS ACCESS database makes it possible to store the data of tractors and seeders, and thus use them for calculations performed. Through information such as sowing depth, operating speed, soil condition, and tractor or seeder characteristics, it is possible to simulate conditions and select a tractor or seeder. The software has provided the user with both sowing machines that a given tractor is capable of pulling, as well as tractors that are capable of pulling a given seeder.
