What are the key parameters for optimal seeding 

Key Parameters for Optimal Seeding:

Supported or tested seeds: Ensure the seed type can be processed by the FD20.

• When in doubt, contact your local distributor or request a free seed test at the Seed Lab.
• Reference: tested crops

Correct seed disc and spacers: Both must be of the same thickness.

• Matching thickness ensures proper placement and prevents uneven seeding.
• Reference:  seed discs and distance ring identification

Feasible seeding distance: Choose seed discs based on desired spacing:

• More holes = short spacing (e.g., 20-hole disc = 2–5 cm).
• Fewer holes = wide spacing (e.g., 5-hole disc = 10–30 cm).
• Automatic seed valve opening/closing only works if spacing ≥ 10 cm.

Correct HMI settings: Double-check robot configuration before starting:

• Adjust driving speed, light sensor sensitivity, and seed valve usage.
• Set the route: seed the passes first, then the headlands.

Correct mechanical settings: Ensure all trailers are consistently adjusted:

• Seeding depth
• Front spring tension
• Seed cover plow position
• Additional weight distribution

Field conditions: Prepare an optimal seedbed before seeding.

• Must be adapted to soil type and local climate conditions.
• Good seedbed conditions are essential for even emergence.
