SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS FOR MONITORING AND ADJUSTING ACTUAL SEED DEPTHS DURING A PLANTING OPERATION BASED ON SOIL MOISTURE CONTENT

摘要

In one aspect, a method is disclosed for adjusting a seed depth associatedwithdepositing a seed within a furrow in a field during a planting operation of anagricultural implement. The method may include determining, by a computingdevice,a target seed depth based on a moisture content of the soil within the field;sensing, bythe computing device, a seed depth parameter indicative of a seed depth of theseedrelative to a ground surface of the field; comparing, by the computing device,the seeddepth parameter to a target seed depth parameter that describes the targetseed depth;and initiating, by the computing device, a control action configured to adjustthe seeddepth parameter towards the target seed depth parameter.
