Development of Multiuse Research/Demonstration Planter for Peanut

摘要

Evaluation of row configuration (row spacing, twin vs single), seeding rates, and other planter settings have been an integral part of agronomic research to further enhance yield potential. Unfortunately, conducting these types of research trials sometimes required the use of multiple planters or time limiting alterations to an existing planter lending to increased error in results. To enhance current agronomic research, an economical multi-use research/demonstration planter was designed and developed using available equipment and parts from John Deere and ALMACO.
