An evenly spaced plant population is key to achieving top maize yields.
To help growers maximise the return from their investment
in Pioneer genetics and seed quality, the Pioneer team has
for many years offered growers and planting contractors a
test planter service for finger planters. Our new MeterMax®
Ultra test planter now extends the planter testing service to
include a range of vacuum planters.
The seedPlanterCheck includes seed meter testing,
inspection and precision calibration to assist growers to achieve optimum seed spacing accuracy. The service
is simple to undertake. Your planting meter is mounted
on to the MeterMax Ultra stand, filled with seed and the
performance of your planter determined.
The MeterMax Ultra counts planter meter errors using
advanced sensor technology. To improve and optimise
meter efficiency, appropriate adjustments are made
followed by retesting and further adjustment to ensure
optimum performance. On completion a printout of the test
results is provided.
What type of planters can be calibrated with the MeterMax System?
The new MetreMax Ultra Test Stand calibrates a range of finger-picker planters, as well as John Deere, Case IH, Kinze and Monosem vacuum planters.
Key Benefits
Even spacing reduces competition between plants
from double drops and optimises plant populations by
avoiding gaps. The resulting evenly spaced maize plants
become the foundation for even better yields at harvest
time.
Contact your local Pioneer® brand seeds representative
to request a seedPlanterCheck service for your planter.
