Abstract
In rice stubble fields with heavy clay soil and full straw retention, conventional tillage practices struggle to create a suitable seedbed for rapeseed blanket seedling transplanting. To address this, a novel integrated device was developed, employing reversed rotary tillage for straw crushing and soil fragmentation, midline ditch clearing with side soil throwing, and bed leveling with slit cutting. Key components, including the reversed rotary blade arrangement, ditch-cleaning shovel, and leveling-slit roller, were theoretically designed and parametrically optimized. Field experiments based on response surface methodology were conducted to evaluate the effects of forward speed, rotary blade speed, and leveling roller speed on soil fragmentation rate, straw incorporation rate, and surface levelness. The optimal operating parameters were determined as follows: forward speed of 0.8m/s, rotary blade speed of 243 r/min, and leveling roller speed of 180 r/min. Under these conditions, the soil fragmentation rate reached 98.92%, straw incorporation rate was 87.81%, and surface levelness was 15.14 mm. The proposed device effectively enhances seedbed quality in sticky, straw-rich paddy fields, providing a reliable technical solution for mechanized transplanting of rapeseed blanket seedlings.
