Smart Seeder:
The embedded soil sensors can be used in real-time to optimise seed placement.
This optimisation will:
Reduce fuel burn as a result of not placing seeds deeper than needed
Increase yields as a result of achieving a more uniform germination
To achieve this functionality, MPT AgTech have developed a fully electronic controlled row unit, that can self optimise based of the sensors collected soil data.
