Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and in particular relates to a small automatic corn fertilizer applicator. Background Art

[0002] Corn is a high-yield crop that needs to absorb a large amount of nutrients from the soil, among which nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the most needed, followed by trace elements such as sulfur, magnesium, boron, zinc and manganese. Spring corn and summer and autumn corn that can be cultivated before sowing should be given basal fertilizer as much as possible. Fertilizer supply is indispensable during the entire growth process of corn, and the demand for fertilizer is different in different growth stages. It can be seen that corn fertilization is relatively frequent during the entire growth period.

[0003] At present, most areas of corn fertilization use more traditional technical means. Although there are some large-scale mechanical equipment now, they cannot be promoted in most areas to meet the needs of most small-scale farmers. In addition, corn needs to be fertilized many times during its growth stage. As the seedlings grow, large-scale machinery is even less suitable for field operations. In most rural areas of my country, compared with manual fertilization, hand-pushed machinery is more commonly used for fertilization. Although it is a machine, it must be pushed manually. Even for harder soil, at least two people are required, which is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] Therefore, a fertilizer application device which is time-saving, labor-saving, simple to operate and can be automated is needed. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, in order to solve the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a small automatic corn fertilizer applicator, which is suitable for fertilizing at all stages of corn growth. It does not require a large amount of manpower to complete the entire process of loading fertilizer, conveying, crushing, filtering and separating, precise fertilization, trenching and covering soil, and leveling the land.
