Over the past several weeks, we’ve gone in-depth about what it takes to achieve photocopy plant stands in the field. This Be Ready blog series covered the six primary agronomic drivers of seed placement accuracy when planting:
- Proper seed depth
- Uniform seed depth across the planter and throughout the field
- Good soil-to-seed contact
- Uniformly correct soil density all around the seed
- Compaction
- Accurate seed population/in-row seed spacing
