Row Crop Planting

With margins tightening and inputs ever-increasing farmers need a turnkey solution. Proven through widespread commodity crop adoption, not to mention nearly every progressive machine-based industry in the world, GNSS guidance, autosteering and control is the next logical step for transplanting farmers. Not only does the solution reduce manual labor required to physically outline fields, it provides streamlined setup through an easy-to-use task planning interface, further improving efficiency. Users can also expect reductions in fuel and the input transplanted through the reliability of GNSS offering fewer mistakes and corrections. Lastly, reallocate the manual labor for other tasks.

Description

Plant according to plan

Planting is essential as the first phase of the farming cycle and often the beginning of the workflow that successive precision tasks and operations will follow. Crops require an optimized start with adequate area to develop without competition; row crop planting control provides accurate singulation and spacing to seed according to ever-advancing plans.

The Topcon Row Crop Planting solution, using the Apollo CM-20 controller and CAN motor(s), provides electric-drive auto-section and variable rate control for planting implements with up to 24 motors, including up to three granular control channels.

Additionally, the solution can interface with optical sensors fitted in drop tubes to provide information on mechanical metering singulation performance (skips and doubles). Designed for universal compatibility, the solution is built under ISOBUS protocol, including ISO-UT functionality for display flexibility. Equipped with individual row motor drives, seed population is easily adjusted either manually or automatically when referencing prescription maps. With auto-section control, variable rate control, and turn compensation, the solution is focused on core planting features that provide the highest value for boosting crop uniformity and yield.

When coupled with the Topcon Agriculture Platform (TAP), farmers can upload various data such as soil, yield, and as-applied to improve planting decisions. Prescription maps can be created and sent directly to the cab through TAP and Topcon hardware.
