Seeding Technology Seeding Technology

Farmers constantly adapt their cultivation strategies to the changed framework conditions for plant production. The resulting measures such as extended crop rotations, more precise application of starter fertilizers including their documentation or the broader use of mechanical crop maintenance expand the requirements for sowing technology. Newly developed seed drills offer the farmers more flexible application options, e. g. for adjusting row widths and tramline spacings or for applying several seeds and types of fertilizer at the same time. Application data are provided in ISO-XML format for further processing with a farm management information system. New developments in precision planters enable a further increase in efficiency. Reduced non-productive times through central seed filling also contribute to this, as does the extended range of functions, e. g. through the rapid row width adjustment for different types of crops or the option of the flexible tramline layout when sowing maize.
