Resumo: The success of crops is directly related to effective planting and fertilization, especially regarding yield factors like plants per area and final yield. Thorough evaluations are vital to understanding modern methods in these operations. Current regulations and their broaden scope highlight the need for more specific approaches. This study aimed to validate a new method for assessing the effectiveness of helical and fluted dosing mechanisms with two granulated fertilizer formulations (04-14-08 [GF1] and 04-30-10 [GF2]) at different speeds (4, 7, and 10 km/h) in a controlled setting. We collected flow data, organized it, checked for normality, and subjected it to variance analysis. The fluted dispenser showed better flow at 4 km/h and 7 km/h. The GF1 formulation produced higher flows in both dispensers, with the helical design outperforming. The flow for GF1 increased linearly with speed. For GF2, the best flow rate was at 7 km/h. In summary, our new method effectively evaluated the factors under study, offering insights into the function and potential improvements of the technologies used.

Contudo as normativas vigentes não apresentam acurácia compatível para avaliar as operações, evidenciando a necessidade de criação de metodologias mais adequadas. Assim, o objetivo do trabalho foi validar uma proposta de metodologia para a avaliação do desempenho de mecanismos dosadores helicoidal e acanalado com duas formulações de fertilizantes granulados (04-14-08 e 04-30-10), em razão de diferentes velocidades angulares (4; 7 e 10 km/h) realizado em bancada estática. Durante os testes, os valores de vazão foram adquiridos por um sistema de aquisição, posteriormente estes dados foram relativizados, em seguida submetidos ao teste de normalidade e posteriormente análise de variância. O dosador acanalado apresentou melhor desempenho nas vazões para as velocidades de 4 km/h e 7 km/h. O formulado 04-14-08 gerou vazões maiores em ambos os dosadores, com ênfase para o helicoidal. As velocidades ocasionaram um aumento linear da vazão no fertilizante 04-14-08. Com 7 km/h se observou o ponto ótimo para a vazão do fertilizante 04-30-10. A metodologia proposta demonstrou ser eficiente na avaliação dos parâmetros estudados bem como para facilitar o entendimento do funcionamento das tecnologias empregadas, assim como suas adequações.UEL2023-08-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/4770810.5433/1679-0359.2023v44n3p1067Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 44 No. 3 (2023); 1067-1076Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 44 n. 3 (2023); 1067-10761679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
