In: Misr Journal of Agricultural Engineering 2012.v.29(2)Summary: The object of this study was to manufacture and evaluate a simplified planterfor planting okra seeds. The okra planter consists of four main parts of three cylindrical ellipsoid hoppers with bored metal strips, furrow openers and covering device. The planter was adjusted to plant okra seeds under the following parameters: three different numbers of holes on the hopper of 3,4 and 5 holes; four different hole diameters of6, 6.5, 7 and 7.5 mm; and three diffrrent planter forward speeds of 0.55, 0.78 and 1.15 km/h. From obtained laboratory and field tests. it could be concluded the followings: The maximum seed discharged from the hoppers of 8.16, 7.82 and 7.42 kg/fed were achieved at 5 holes number on the hopper and planter forward speeds of 0.55, 0.78 and 1.15 km/h. respectively. The maximum mean seed No. in the hill of4.91,4.63 and 4.36 seed/hill were achieved at 4 holes number on the hopper, 7.5 mm hole diameter and planter forward speeds of 0.55, 0.78 and 1.15 km/h. respectively.
