In the right place at the right time
This is especially true for the seed. We’ve all asked ourselves, “When’s the best time to plant which fields? Is it better to plant early or is it wiser to wait?” Even a couple of days can make the difference to the results of the harvest. Planting too early can lead to losses if the conditions are cold and damp. Planting too late reduces yield as you’re not making the most of the potential growth time. The weather is often very unpredictable in the planting season. Rain can delay work by several days. Only powerful technology can maximise on short planting windows.
Not too shallow, not too deep
Losses due to incorrect planting depth are not uncommon. When you drive faster, you need to adjust the tillage disc downforce to avoid reducing the drop depth when the row unit floats. Studies show that if the seed is not planted at the right depth with the right soil moisture, this has a direct influence on the yield.
