โœฆ Synopsis

A rolling punch planter with a cam-actuated opening mechanism was developed to plant maize (and other similarly sized grains) in tilled and untilled soils. Field tests showed that satisfactory planting of the seeds was achieved in an untilled field with up to 75~ residue cover (at about 5500 kg/ha). The within-the-row spacing of the punched holes and the depth of planting of the seeds were independent of the travel speed. The percentage of the punched holes containing a single seed decreased as the travel speed increased.
