As a result, selecting the right grass seed for your location is a function of learning the ins and outs of these factors so you can choose the best seed variety for your lawn space and your needs. ...
This can also act as a barrier to rooting.2. Check seed quality Thoroughly check the quality of seed when it arrives on-farm and try and order it well ahead of planting time to give you more time to check the contents properly when it arrives.It’s a good idea to work closely with a trusted seed supplier to reduce the risk of disease being brought ...
“If you don’t get things right on the day you plant, in almost all cases it won’t matter what you do for the rest of the season, you won’t achieve what you should set out to achieve,” he explains. Planting density – dictated by seed rate, or within row spacing – is key to hitting target yield and tuber size. It also reduces waste and ensures costly ...
If you’re starting a lawn from scratch, you’ve probably come across the three common methods for seeding: sod, grass seed, and hydroseed. In order to determine the best choice for your yard, you may want to ask yourself a few questions before you get started, and familiarize yourself with each of the processes so you can make the right choice for your lawn ...

A tungsten tipped, depth adjustable twin row (or optional single chute) seed placement coulter capable of handling a wide variety of seeds then follows placing the seed. ...
Yet the fundamental challenge is the same—putting seeds in the right place, at the right time, and at the right depth for a uniform stand. ...
Precise seeding is the key to production of high-quality crops. MAX PNEUMATIC seed drills are modern machines for seeding of various vegetable species, being differently formed and sized. ...
This means that all crop types will display readouts for population, seed spacing, meter speed (SureDrive®) and downforce applied, gauge wheel readings and trends, as well as vacuum (if equipped). Seed Rows Have you wanted the ability to select your rate by row? With the new Seed Row feature, you can now select which ...
It's all pretty common knowledge that proper seed spacing and uniform emergence equates to more bushels in the bin but how do you know you're planting properly? ...
Biointensive’s key components besides transplanting and double-digging are on-site composting, close plant spacing, use of seeds from plants that have been naturally pollinated and specific food-to-compost crop ratios. ...

Using 10 of these accessions, our objectives were (i) to relate seed yield and yield components in spaced plants to yield in row-seeded plots, (ii) to link yield to growth and development factors, and (iii) to determine variation for seed production factors among accessions. Seed yield, seeds per ...
Wide (76-cm) and narrow (38-cm) row spacing and four seeding rates (185,000; 309,000; 432 000; and 556,000 seeds ha–1) were evaluated at three locations during 2004, 2005, and 2006 to determine seed yield in wide and narrow row spacing and four seeding rates and evaluate economic advantages ...
Planting date and seeding rate are agronomic decisions that producers can use to maximize soybean [Glycine max (L) Merr.] seed yield and economic return. ...
A simple method is needed to aid farmers with midseason nitrogen (MSN) decisions in dry-seeded, delayed flood rice (Oryza sativa L.). This study was conducted to develop thresholds using visual and digital image measurements for predicting rice yield response to MSN. ‘Francis’ and ‘Cheniere’ rice were drill seeded on 19-cm row spacing from 2004 ...
Three field experiments replicated in three environments were conducted to evaluate the following factors: (i) seeding date (mid-May, early-June, and mid-June) and cultivar (K432, K593, and Plainsman); (ii) row spacing (38, 58, and 76 cm) and seeding rate (1, 2, and 4 kg ha–1), and (iii) N fertilization rate (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 kg N ha–1) ...
