Abstract: According to the requirements of agricultural and agronomic of rapeseed precision metering technology, this study proposed the design scheme of pneumatic precision metering device for rapeseed and analyzed the structure and working process of the metering device. Field experiment conditions as follows: take Qin You No.10 for the tested seed, seed germination about 85%, the design seeding rate is 0.63~4.41 kg/hm2, take 1.8 kg/hm2 as test seeding number, the tractor speed is 2.6 km/h. After tested, the sowing uniformity variation coefficient between the actual number of rape sprout in field and design seeding rate is 2.4%, this result indicate that the seeder have a good uniformity, and meet the seed quality standards.
