Evaluation of Pneumatic Granular Herbicide Applicators for Seeding Small Grains in OklahomaPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Applied Engineering in Agriculture. 2(2): 58-63. (doi: 10.13031/2013.26710) @1986Authors: H. Willard Downs, Randal K. Taylor Keywords: Grain cropping systems, Grain seeding, Herbicide application TWO small central metering, air-delivery granular herbicide applicators were evaluated for potential use in seeding. Soybeans, mungbeans, milo and wheat were metered over a typical range of rates with a Gandy 5812 and a Flex-King 160. Some loss of accuracy during operation with seeder platform at an angle was observed for the Flex-King 160, otherwise metering and uniformity was good for both machines. Some problem with seed damage was encountered with the Gandy 5812 when seeding mungbeans and milo. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
