1. Prepare the field before sowing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Spread the straw evenly.<\/strong> The super seeder handles loose straw well, but thick heaps left behind the combine choke the rotor and leave bare patches where seed never reaches the soil. A combine fitted with a Super Straw Management System (SMS) spreads the straw evenly behind it. If your field was cut without one, scatter the windrows before you sow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get the moisture right.<\/strong> The soil should be moist but not wet. If it sticks to your boots and smears, it is too wet: the blades will plaster the soil and the seed tubes can block. If it is dry and hard, germination suffers. Many farmers time sowing a few days after paddy harvest, or give a light irrigation beforehand if the field has dried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Rattan Super Seeder has an adjustable seed rate and sowing depth<\/strong>. Do not trust the setting on the scale alone. Seed size changes from variety to variety and lot to lot, so the same setting can drop a different amount of seed. Calibrate it yourself before you go to the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What seed rate should you use?<\/strong> It depends on the variety, the sowing date and your soil. Follow the current recommendation from Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) or your local agriculture department for the variety you are sowing. Late sowing usually needs a higher rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sowing depth:<\/strong> wheat is normally sown shallow, a few centimetres deep, where it gets moisture but can still emerge easily. Seed placed too deep comes up weak and late; seed left too shallow, or on top of straw, may not germinate at all. Set the depth, sow a short strip, then dig in at a few spots to check where the seed actually landed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Replace blades as a set.<\/strong> When the blades are worn, change the full set rather than a few at a time. Mixing old and new blades unbalances the rotor and gives uneven tilling across the width.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rattan Agro Tech builds super seeders at our ISO 9001:2008 certified factory in Nabha, Punjab, with heavy-duty tines and an adjustable seed rate and depth. The machine is eligible for subsidy under the crop residue management scheme. If you have a question about settings, spare blades or a new machine, our team is happy to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get the price, check subsidy eligibility, or ask about setup. You can talk to us in Punjabi or Hindi too. \u0a24\u0a41\u0a38\u0a40\u0a02 \u0a38\u0a3e\u0a21\u0a47 \u0a28\u0a3e\u0a32 \u0a2a\u0a70\u0a1c\u0a3e\u0a2c\u0a40 \u0a35\u0a3f\u0a71\u0a1a \u0a35\u0a40 \u0a17\u0a71\u0a32 \u0a15\u0a30 \u0a38\u0a15\u0a26\u0a47 \u0a39\u0a4b\u0964<\/p> How to set up a super seeder before wheat sowing: field preparation, seed rate calibration, sowing depth, driving tips, maintenance and the common mistakes to avoid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-farmer-tips"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rattanagrotech.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rattanagrotech.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rattanagrotech.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rattanagrotech.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rattanagrotech.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rattanagrotech.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rattanagrotech.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rattanagrotech.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rattanagrotech.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rattanagrotech.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}2.
