Abstract:

Current global political developments highlight the central importance of plant production for human nutrition. Sowing as an important sub-process is currently being intensively included in the optimization of plant production as an overall system. New drive concepts such as Nexat or autonomous drive units open up practical perspectives for integration into integrated machine systems for sowing technology. Seed drills and precision seed drills are given new opportunities to apply seeds, fertilizers and chemical agents in different combinations and spatial allocations at the same time. The precision sowing of grain is getting further impetus from current developments. Improvements in the details of central assemblies such as singulation and depth control systems represent important innovations in sowing technology.
