ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of research on the
quality of seeding Sida hermaphrodita Rusby (Virginia fanpetals)
seeds with the S071 KRUK precision seeder in field conditions. It
was observed that the best quality of sowing for the examined classes
of distances in a row was obtained at the sowing disk peripheral
speed of 0.23 m s-1 and the working speed of 0.8 m s-1. In subsequent
tests significant impact of the disk peripheral speed on
percentages of single, duplicate and skipped plants was observed.
Thus, it can be concluded that the peripheral speed of the sowing
disk of the examined seeder impacts the precision of seed distribution
in a row.
