Requirements Components for a 4-Row Planter Systems Upgrade

Background The USDA-ARS Cropping Systems and Water Quality Research Unit (CSWQRU) conducts precision cropping systems research at the field scale. A key part of the research is controlling application of inputs (e.g., seed, liquid fertilizer, crop protection chemicals) according to experimental protocols, which often include an application rate that varies from place to place within the field. Information regarding the (variable-rate) application must be recorded and mapped by tagging with GPS coordinates for subsequent analysis (as part of the process referred to as precision agriculture). Furthermore, control of the variable-rate application must be able to be controlled by inputting a map of target rates into the system on the field equipment (e.g., planter).

The CSWQRU currently owns a John Deere 7100 4-row planter that has been modified with sensing and control technology from a third-party vendor to measure soil properties at planting, and to control planter operation. This planter is primarily used in research plots, where precise control of the seed placement and rate and fertilizer rate is critical. Now, we require a modification to the system to provide vacuum seed meters with attached electric drive units to improve accuracy of seed placement. The requirement also includes components to allow simultaneous application of two fertilizer products to the seed furrow during the planting operation. Integration of data flow from both modifications must be seamless with data from the already installed components. Specifically, the required planter modifications must meet the characteristics given below.

Notes:

1. Components already on planter include SmartFirmers and a Gen3 20/20 monitor.

2. Connection hoses and brackets, and fertilizer tank(s) will be provided by customer.

3. Customer will assemble system on the existing planter, i.e., requirement is for materials only, not installation.

Salient Characteristics of the system

• Seed metering system o Includes individual electric drive for the seed meter on each row o Vacuum technology to hold seed in place for better placement.

o Seed disks for corn, soybean, and grain sorghum (milo).

o When coupled with existing Gen3 20/20 monitor, provides swath control, such that seed delivery is turned off when crossing an area that is already planted.

o Allows seed delivery at variable rates on different rows and from place to place within a field or plot.

• Fertilizer delivery system o Provide the ability to apply two separate liquid starter products in the seed furrow.

o Compatible with biological products as well as chemical fertilizers.

o Each product rate can be controlled separately.

o Controlled rates can be varied from place to place within the field based on input of an external map of desired rates.

o System shall be capable of applying starter on all four rows of the planter.

o Rate of each starter product must be controllable between 4.5 gallon/acre and 20 gallon/acre when travelling at 4.5 mile/hour.

o Shall be compatible with SmartFirmers installed on each row or include replacement SmartFirmers if needed.

• Both systems o Ability to record flow of each product, tagged with geospatial data. Data is integrated with other planter data in the existing Gen3 20/20 monitor for display and recording.

o Includes minimum 1-year warranty.
