4. KEY CONCEPTS FOR SOWING

4.1 SOIL

A well-prepared soil significantly improves sowing quality. It

is not possible to obtain good results if the soil is in large

clods or the furrows are very uneven. Although the machines

can withstand harsh working conditions; the seeding will

not be good quality if the seedbed is not properly prepared.

4.2 SEED

It is essential to use quality, clean and, in the case of barley,

well-threshed seed.

4.3 DEPTH

Sowing depth influences tillering, plant vigour, frost and

drought resistance: the tillering node is always 1 to 2 cm be-

low the surface, regardless of the depth at which the seed is

buried.

Sowing deeper will not mean deeper roots. Only a few roots

grow from the lower part of the seed. The main mass origi-

nates at the tillering node almost at ground level.

Sowing at normal depth: 2 to 4 cm

Fig. 4.1

Seed

Tillering node

• Thick stem, short rhizome

and good frost resistance.

• Multiple tillering with 3 to

6 tillers and many leaves,

between 6 and 10.

• Substantial rooting, 5 cm

wide and 10-12 cm deep.

• Fewer grains per square

metre of sowing yields

more ears.

Sowing slightly deeper: between 5 and 6 cm

Fig. 4.2

Seed

Rhizome

Tillering

node

• Thin stem, rhizome ex-

posed to frost.

• Delayed and poor tiller-

ing, 1 or no tillers and few

leaves, about 3 or 4.

• Regular rooting, 3 cm

wide and 5 cm deep.

• We need more grains per

square metre to obtain

the same number of ears

as in the first case.

Very deep sowing: 8 to 10 cm

Fig. 4.3

Rhizome

Seed

Tillering

node

• Very slender stem. No till-

ers and a single leaf.

• The grain's reserves are

depleted in a long rhi-

zome that can be easily

cut by frost.

• Poor rooting, 1 cm wide

and 3 cm deep.

• We need twice as many

grains per square metre

to obtain the same num-

ber of ears as in the first

case.

IMPORTANT:

SOWING DEPTH WITH STRAIGHT

COULTER UNITS IS NOT UNIFORM AS IT DE-

PENDS ON SOIL CONDITION AND REGULARITY.

IN VERY COLD AREAS, SUCCESSIVE FROSTS CAN

CAUSE THE TOP LAYER OF THE SOIL TO SWELL

AND BREAK UP, WITH THE DANGER OF LOOSEN-

ING THE INCIPIENT ROOTS OF THE PLANT AND

CAUSING ITS DEATH. IN THESE CASES, A SLIGHT-

LY DEEPER SOWING DEPTH MAY BE ADVISABLE

OR, IF POSSIBLE, A ROLLER SHOULD BE USED

TO COMPACT THE SOIL AND PROVIDE MORE

SHELTERED CONDITIONS FOR THE SEEDS.

WHEN THE MACHINE IS STARTED, NO SEEDS

ARE PLACED IN THE FURROWS DURING THE

FIRST METRE OF TRAVEL. HOWEVER, WHEN THE

MACHINE IS STOPPED, THE GRAINS THAT ARE

TRAVELLING DOWN THE PIPES WILL FALL OUT

AND PILE UP IN THE LAST METRE. KEEP THIS IN

MIND TO ENSURE A GOOD FINISH OF THE PASS.

ALWAYS WORK AT A UNIFORM SPEED. SUDDEN

CHANGES IN SPEED WILL CAUSE UNEVEN SEED

DISTRIBUTION.

THE RECOMMENDED SEEDING DEPTH WILL

VARY ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF CROP AND

FARMERS ARE ADVISED TO SEEK PROFESSION-

AL ADVICE FROM TECHNICIANS OR SPECIAL-

ISTS IN THIS FIELD.
