Tab. 9 - Sowing depths
* The number of the set working depth is for information only and it may be influenced by the soil structure
and properties. The depth should always be tested on the actual field before sowing and the actual depth of
depositing seeds in the soil has to be checked!!!
There is a threat of imbalance and irregularities of growth when the sowing depth is not sufficient and there
is subsequent drought!!!
The use of trail cultivators is recommended to eliminate compaction in the place of the tractor wheel tracks.
