The issue of sugarcane seed leakage is one of the practical challenges encountered in the current utilization of sugarcane planting machinery, directly leading to reduced yields in sugarcane fields. This paper addresses the problem of seed leakage in the process of transverse planting of pre-cut sugarcane using theoretical analysis, modeling, simulation, and experimental research. It designs a real-time reseeding system for pre-cut sugarcane transverse planting machines, composed of seed boxes, backup seed rollers, reseeding rollers, and an electronic control system. The real-time reseeding system detects seed leakage on the planting machine’s seeding chain to control the reseeding mechanism, filling the gaps in the seeding chain with sugarcane seeds. During experimentation, the real-time reseeding system achieved a maximum reduction of seed leakage by 6% in the seeding chain, effectively addressing the issue of seed leakage in pre-cut sugarcane transverse planting machines.
