Cover Story: The sugarcane emergence rate has a great influence on its yield, and planting quality is closely related to the emergence rate. At the present stage, the research is mainly focus on improving sowing qualification and decreasing sowing omission, but ignoring the ignoring the influence of covering quality on emergence. Some studies show that the covering quality of soil and film has enormously contributed to the germination and emergence rates of seed cane setts. This paper introduced a cane seed covering device suitable for a sugarcane transverse planter was designed, and explored the factors and laws affecting covering quality. The field tests were carried out to get the optimal parameter combination, and two emergence rates in standard covering and traditional covering were compared. The results showed a notable effect.
