Spreading fine seeds

REQUIREMENTS

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

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

  • Seedbed is sufficiently reconsolidated and load-bearing

  • Seedbed has sufficient fine soil

  1. If the fine seed will be sown with a thin covering height:

    Adapt the working speed to the ground contour.

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

    Seeding 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 reliable 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.
