Bulk seeder for experimental planting / G.B. Hergert.: A58-4/376E-PDF

"Bulk seeding of experimental plantings is done for various reasons including assessment of various fertilizer, pesticide, or disease treatments, testing of drainage, or cultivation methods, animal feeding trials field increase plots and large yield plots. Traditionally, these plots have been planted with a conventional seed drill, but this requires considerable time to ensure that the drill is completely cleaned between plantings. Equipment is described here which may be attached to existing plot and field seeders which have the advantage of being easy to load and clean. Suggestions are given for mounting the equipment on different models of seeders"--Page [1].
