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.
