How to Analyze, Detect and Adjust Variable Seedbed Depth in Site-Specific Sowing Systems: A Case Study

Sowing or seedbed depth is an important agro-technological parameter that varies with specific on-field soil and microclimatic conditions depends on crop biology. There a lack of detailed information regarding how relates to other parameters affects the development agricultural crops. Several seeder constructions methods for seeding condition detection adjustment have been investigated in high-precision, digitally backgrounded, in-site sowing systems; however, there still gap knowledge due limited use these technologies high micro-climatic variability. Therefore, aim this study was highlight impact parameters, mainly established by Kritz method, ascertain correlation between depth, germination, productivity, overview equipment used detection, control precision site-specific systems. Our results showed that, most cases, when extended beyond optimum, moisture content decreased significantly. also correlated roughness (surface bottom) aggregate size distribution, but direction relation depended type maximum depths. productivity parameters; exposure intensity varied respect crops, weather conditions, tillage equipment. uniformity greatly influenced regulation clamping force, spatial variability fields operation speed.
