Abstract:
... With recent developments allowing increased planter speeds, improving spatial uniformity of crop emergence will continue to be an important focus of research. Vertical vibration during planting usually interferes with the seed metering and delivery process, and thereby affects seeding quality. Two different row crop planters were instrumented with accelerometers to monitor vertical vibration of pl ...
