Abstract: In modern crop production, energy-saving technologies play a key role, being one of the most promising directions. This requires the introduction of new-generation agricultural machines that guarantee high-quality operations, in particular, the sowing of small-seeded crops. New constructions of agricultural machinery are developed with an emphasis on multi-functionality, energy efficiency and resource conservation. Existing sowing machines often do not meet the requirements of universal seeders, which prompts the search for new solutions. One of such promising directions is the development of seeding technological processes, which are based on the formation of a uniform flow of seeds, using sowing devices of the new generation. The development of the construction and technological scheme of the seeding device for the selection seeder and the substantiation of its parameters is an urgent and strategically important task for the modern agricultural sector. In addition to this, it is important to consider the requirements for adapting new technologies to changing field conditions and climatic factors. The development of technologies that reduce seed losses, reduce energy costs and increase sowing accuracy is an integral part of this process. In addition, modern selection planters must integrate the latest automation systems that allow monitoring of sowing parameters in real time, which helps to reduce the human factor and improve the accuracy of operations. The use of advanced materials and innovative designs improves the durability and performance of sowing devices. Lightweight materials reduce energy consumption, while modular constructions simplify maintenance and adaptability. Incorporating renewable energy sources, like solar-powered systems, further supports energy-efficient and eco-friendly agricultural practices.
