Precision sowing of soybean - pneumatic seeding in south-eastern Europe

Abstract

High and stable soybean yields require the careful combination of practices. In practical terms, this means the right choices in selecting the land used, placing the soybean effectively in the cropping sequence, making the right decisions at sowing, followed by good husbandry practices throughout the growing season (from planting to harvest). The use of certified seed reduces the risk of genetic impurity, low seed viability, and the spread of weed seeds in this region. Here we address the decisions made in sowing using a pneumatic precision seeder.
