Spreading fine seed

PREREQUISITES

For smooth running of the coulters and secure embedding of fine seeds:

  • The seed bed must be worked at least to the application depth of the fine seed or fertilizer

  • Seedbed is sufficiently consolidated and load-bearing

  • Seedbed has sufficient fine soil

  1. If the fine seed will be sown with low cover height:

    Adapt the working speed to the ground contour.

  2. For smooth running of the coulters and secure embedding of the fine seed:

    Sowing direction parallel to the soil tillage

  3. If the conveyor air blows away structureless soil:

    Correct the air pressure in the singling unit.

  4. If a load-bearing soil structure is not present for secure embedding at the desired placement depth:

    Increase the placement depth: Adjusting the seed placement depth.

  5. If the fine seed is placed too deep with the selected setting:

    Heap-up less cover: Adjusting the V-press rollers.
