Abstract

The wanted average number of plants per unit area is achieved by using precise seed drills and sowing calibrated seed. The speed of the seed drill affects the regular distribution of seeds in a row. By increasing the speed of the drill, there appears the increasing of the space between the seeds in a row. Mechanic and pneumatic seed drills can be used for carrot sowing. Mechanic seed drills are suitable only for sowing calibrated seed. The dimension and shape of the seed must be in such accordance with the diameter of the opening on the sowing plate to ensure their regular filling.
