Conventional sowing patterns have some drawbacks for crop plants. Mainly due to uneven spatial distribution, they utilize space, nutrients and water suboptimally, have a low ability to suppress weeds and are in general difficult to treat individually. Electric stepper motors have been retrofitted to a precision seeder for sugar beet to achieve very accurate control of the seeding mechanisms so that precise regular seeding patterns can be created. Lab testing has been conducted to check the accuracy of seed spacing as well as the evenness of row synchronization. The defined and required accuracy for grid seeding of sugar beet has been achieved.
