Flexible orifice seed metering plate to address variability in seed shape, size and orientation enhances field performance of a pneumatic planter

Abstract Pneumatic planters are widely adopted in precision agriculture due to their superior field performance and minimal seed damage. However, variations in seed size, shape, and orientation can affect the ability of each orifice to pick and release a single seed accurately. Seed metering units t...
