Effect of precision drill forward speed on in-Row seed spacing accuracy of red beet
The most significant factor for controlling root size of red beet is likely to be the spacing between plants, or the density of seed plantings. Most red beet that is used in processing and for the market, is produced by direct sowing with precision drills at an inter-row spacing of 30 to 60 cm and in-row spacing of 5 to 10 cm, aiming at 30 to 70 plants m-2. The desired plant density per unit area can be achieved by using mechanical and pneumatic precision drills, and by sowing calibrated seeds. The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of varied forward speed on in-row seed spacing distribution accuracy of red beet using different types of precision drills. It was found that an increase in the drill operating speed decreases drilling precision. This was prevalent in cases of drills that used mechanical feed mechanisms, rather than drills with pneumatic feed mechanisms. The best in-row seed spacing distribution accuracy was determined at the speed of 0.83 ms-1 with the pneumatic feed precision drill operated suction system, when 83.1% of seeds were laid at the 0.5-1.5 of the theoretical seed spacing (Zt). Inferior results were obtained with the belt feed mechanism at an operating speed of 1.81 ms-1 (63.4% of Zt).
