Our Precision Planting Canola study has been published in the Canadian Journal of Plant Science!
The study looked at the effect of seeding canola using precision planters and conventional air drill seeders at different seeding rates on plant density and seed yield.
In our trials, we used precision planters at 12" and 20" row width (30.5 and 50.8 cm) and seeded at rates or 20, 40, 60, 80, and 160 seeds per m-2.

Precision planters (row crop planters) are increasingly being used to seed canola as they provide superior depth control and seed placement. Farming Smarter evaluates the efficiency of precision planters for canola seeding in southern Alberta.
