Sowing

Sowing

Plot drills and seeders that place every seed lot at the right rate, depth and spacing, with nothing carried over between plots.

What we supply

Plot drills and precision seeders for cereals, oilseeds, pulses and row crops, set up for the plot sizes and row spacings in your protocols.

Why it matters in a trial

Sowing sets up everything that follows. If seed rate, depth or spacing vary from plot to plot, that variation ends up in your results. Our sowing machines are designed to:

  • sow each plot’s seed lot completely, then leave the metering unit clean for the next
  • hold the same rate and depth across the whole trial
  • start and stop exactly on the plot boundaries

Calibration and training

Every sowing machine we supply is calibrated on site before its first season, and we train your operators to check it themselves. We also calibrate drills we didn’t supply. See calibration.

Tell us about your crops, plot sizes and timings. We'll recommend the machines, then calibrate them and train your team.
