Everyone knows that using vegetable planters for large-area vegetable planting is more efficient than manual planting, and will also reduce production costs. Below we can more intuitively see the economic benefits of using mechanical equipment for planting through several sets of data.

Taking 10 million seedlings in the production base as an example, 10 batches were planted, and each batch was planted within one week. In order to calculate the amount of seeding required. When the seedling safety factor is 1.2, the seed purity is 90%, and the effective seedling rate is 90%, the sowing amount required to cultivate one million vegetable seedlings is:

If the traditional manual seeding method is used, the technician can seed 50 trays in one working day (8 hours), each tray has 72 holes. The number of days required for planting is: 1481000➗ (50✖️72)=411.39 days; because each batch is required to be completed within a week, the number of people required is at least: 58.77 people, calculated as 59 people, if each person’s daily salary is 50 Yuan, the total wages of workers that need to be paid for 7 days is 20650 Yuan.

If a vegetable planter is used for planting, each planter needs 3 operators, one of whom is responsible for covering the orifice plate, one person is responsible for the orifice plate after planting, and one person is responsible for auxiliary work. The service life of the machine is 5 years. At the scale of planting one million seedlings every week, 148,400 seeds need to be planted. If the machine sows 600 pallets per hour, the number of days required for sowing is 4.29. Based on 5 days, workers’ wages totaling 1,250 yuan must be paid within a week.

The price of vegetable planters ranges from 180,000 to 250,000. The depreciation and electricity cost of the machine is calculated at 10,000 yuan per year. If 10 batches are planted each year, the cost of each batch is 1,000 yuan, plus labor costs, the total is 2,250 yuan. Compared with artificial planting, each batch saves 18,400 labor costs. If the size of the nursery base reaches 10 million trees, 10 batches can be planted a year, saving 184,000 yuan. Assuming that the machine has been working normally for 5 years, labor costs of 920,000 yuan can be saved after 5 years. The five-year sales are calculated on the basis of 1,000 sets, and the manufacturer's cumulative output value is 920 million yuan.

Through the above data show, everyone knows how much economic benefits the use of vegetable planters brings.
