Abstract. Equipment includes planter, field management equipment and harvester for controlled traffic farming system is elaborated in the paper. And the analysis results shows that main problems of equipment for controlled traffic farming system contains poor ability to navigate, uneven and bent wheel lanes. To solve the problem, the thought that precision agriculture is introduced into equipment for controlled traffic farming system is put forward. For this purpose, the key technology of precision agriculture is introduced, and the feasibility of combination of precision agriculture and controlled traffic farming system is discussed, which provides theoretical support for the development of equipment for controlled traffic farming system.

1 Introduction Controlled traffic farming system, as a new agricultural production system, combines the conservation tillage and controlled traffic technology. The principle includes that crop zone is independent of wheel lane, which means wheels of tractor and machines run only on permanent lanes, and crop is planted on other soil except wheel lanes. So the crop will not be compacted by wheels, which can keep better environment for crop growth. Controlled traffic farming system requires few tillage to keep the lanes, no tillage and straw cover to realize water saving, waterlogging, tillage reduction and © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2016 Published by Springer International Publishing AG 2016.

residue management before planting. Controlled traffic farming system was developed from Mexico, and has developed in many countries, which suffer drought and waterlogging. Researches show that controlled traffic farming system has many effects [1, 2]. Wheel traffic can increase soil compaction which has negative influences on some critical soil properties, like saturated hydraulic conductivity, porosity and bulk density [3–6]. Bai et al. (2008) showed that 9 years controlled traffic farming system reduced bulk density 11.2 %, and increased porosity in 0-15 cm soil layer. In addition, the saturated hydraulic conductivity was greater under controlled traffic farming system [7]. Research by Chen et al. (2008) indicated that controlled traffic farming s
