Instructions for work
Checking the spacing between seeds
- Uncover 11 seeds on the seeding line.
- Measure distance D between the first and eleventh
seed.
- Divide the measured distance by 10 to obtain the
spacing between two seeds.
Example:
For Maize seeds: 27 hole disk.
Seed row spacing: 75 cm (2’5’’).
Required population: 83000 plants/hectare.
Distance (D) measured between the first and eleventh
seed: 1600 mm (5’3’’).
Seed spacing:
1600 / 10 = 160 mm (6.3’’).
Compare the average distance measured with value (1)
indicated in the chart. Modify settings if necessary.
Calibration chart: 27 hole disk
