Abstract: In order to expand the function of the orchard straw mulching machine and solve the problem of the shortage of organic fertilizer fertilization machine in a hilly orchard, a self-propelled orchard organic fertilizer strip-spreader was developed based on the straw mulching machine. The machine was mainly composed of the vehicle body and the strip-spreading device. The strip-spreading device adopted a telescopic structure, and the spacing of the strip-spreading was 1.8～2.7 m, which was suitable for ditch fertilization or two-side strip spreading of organic fertilizer in orchard with row spacing of 3.0～4.5 m or applying base fertilizer along the rows for field crops or spreading cultivation substrate in strips. The discrete element method was used to optimize the fertilizing outlet structure of the strip-spreading device, and the best XK type fertilizing outlet structure was decided. The strip-spreading test results showed that the fertilizing amount of the decomposed cow manure was ranged from 29.40 t/hm~2 to 53.10 t/hm~2, and the coefficient of variation was less than or equal to 15.48%. The amount of the mushroom residue applied was 21.45～75.00 t/hm~2, and the coefficient of variation was less than or equal to 6.57%. The determination coefficients of the fertilization quantitative models of the decomposed cow manure and the mushroom residue were 0.871 3 and 0.963 1, respectively. In the field test of orchard, the strip-spreader showed a good operation effect. The self-propelled orchard organic fertilizer strip-spreader can adapt to large-scale fertilization in a hilly orchard.
