description With the increasing level in the intensification of agricultural production in China, continuous cropping obstacles have become a problem that needs to be solved. The use of vertical rotary tillage technology and soil disinfection technology is an effective solution. In this paper, a vertical rotary soil-tilling variable disinfection combine was developed and an on-board control system with STM32 as the control core was designed to realize the real-time acquisition of powder monopoly torque information and the variable application of soil disinfection chemicals. Based on the obtained experimental soil parameters, a discrete element soil particle model was established, and orthogonal experiments were conducted to analyze the single-blade roller tillage process, and the optimal operating parameters were finally selected as 500 mm powder monopoly depth, 320 r/min knife roller speed, and 0.26 m/s forward speed, respectively. The field experiment found that the average tillage depth of the implement was 489 mm, the stability coefficient of tillage depth was 94.50%, the uniformity coefficient of soil disinfection was 85.57%, and the applied amount and the speed ratio coefficient of the given flow were linearly related, respectively. This research provides a technical reference for the deep tillage and soil disinfection of the powder monopoly.
