Abstract

The even placement of seeds at the correct depth is crucial for achieving the optimum yield. The depth of drill coulters on state-of-the-art seeding machines is normally set manually by downforce springs or weights will therefore react to different soil resistances. A prototype seeder with one drill coulter was constructed and tested in a rotational soil bin. The research concluded a potential of minimizing the low frequent drill coulter depth variations and a solution for providing an even coulter depth in soil.
