Singulation-Style Seeding System

摘要

A singulation-style seeding system is provided that may include planter row units arranged on a drill that may have a front rank and a back rank. The planter units may singulate and deliver seeds from a first segment of the drill, which may correspond to one of the front and back ranks. A high-volume fertilizer may be delivered from a second segment of the drill, which may correspond to the other one of the front and back ranks and may be delivered at a relatively high delivery rate. A starter fertilizer may be delivered at a relatively lower delivery rate at or near seed furrows.

1. A singulation-style seeding system, comprising:
a first bulk storage container towable behind a tractor and storing fertilizer for delivery to an agricultural field; a second bulk storage container towable by the tractor and storing seed for delivery to the agricultural field; a drill towable behind the tractor and including a first rank arranged relatively closer to the tractor and a second rank arranged relatively further from the tractor; multiple fertilizer placement assemblies arranged on one of the first and second ranks of the drill, each fertilizer placement assembly including a fertilizer delivery tube fluidly connected to the first bulk storage container and arranged to direct fertilizer from the bulk storage container to the agricultural field at a location that corresponds to a location of engagement of the ground-engaging tool with the agricultural field; and multiple planter row units arranged on the other one of the first and second ranks of the drill, each planter row unit including a seed meter fluidly connected to and receiving seed from the second bulk storage container, the seed meter singulating the seeds from the second bulk storage container for individual delivery onto the agricultural field.
