MAXIMA 2
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.
The KMS412 control box enables knowing
instantaneously the average distance between
seeds.
