Abstract
Description
AE-959; Drill calibration is essential to maintain seed cost
at the estimated level and to assure that an adequate number of live seeds are uniformly distributed in the seed row. To fully understand the concepts of drill calibration, a basic knowledge of seed mixture formulation based on pure live seed (PLS) and adjusting PLS seeding rates based on the quality of seed purchased is necessary.
