ROW SPACING
TWO SEED ROW SPACINGS
12.5 OR 25CM
The distance of the sowing rows is often philosophy. Each farmer has to decide by himself and has to consider local yield potential and the harvest utilisation of the crop. With our Kverneland proven CX-II coulter both spacings are possible due to the narrow profile design.
A distance of 12.5cm offers for high seed rate the best distribution of seeds in the field because rows are quickly closed. The weed pressure is reduced and a good use of nutrients, water and sun is achieved.
You have the choice!
The wider distance of 25cm has the advantage that the microclimate of the standing crop is better against fungal infestation. New type of seeds (Hybrid) achieve higher yields per spike. Therefore, less seeds are needed per m 2 . These can be important on fields where water is a limited factor. In addition, less coulters per metre reduce the pulling force and lifting capacity requirement and have a better clearance especially in wet conditions. Finally it will reduce costs of the implement and seeds but depends on soil condition and management system.
