Map your soil, while you seed.

In-Furrow Soil Sensors : Real-Time Depth Control

Soil is inherently variable.

In modern no-till farming practices, the soil is disturbed only during the seeding stage, making it a critical moment for maximizing its potential. That's where the MPT Smart Seeder comes into play. Utilizing innovative In Furrow technology, this advanced seeder incorporates sensors within its design to map essential soil properties like Soil Moisture, Soil Temperature, and Soil Carbon.

With real-time access to this data, the Smart Seeder intelligently optimizes crop yields by ensuring uniform emergence. By avoiding the need to plant seeds deeper than necessary, it effectively reduces fuel consumption, leading to cost savings and minimizing environmental impact.

By harnessing the power of precise soil mapping and intelligent data utilization, the MPT Smart Seeder enables farmers to make the most of each seeding opportunity. This technology empowers farmers to achieve improved crop performance, higher yields, and greater efficiency in their operations. Embracing these advancements in agricultural practices not only benefits the farmer but also contributes to sustainable farming practices and environmental stewardship.

Achieving optimal seed emergence relies heavily on soil moisture levels. However, large fields often exhibit significant variability in soil properties, presenting challenges for farmers in establishing crops, especially in areas with marginal moisture conditions that are further compounded by the impacts of climate change.

Addressing these challenges, the MPT AgTech 'Smart Seeder' integrates advanced soil sensing technology into a self-adjusting seeder, revolutionizing seed placement accuracy. Unlike traditional methods that rely on data from static probes, offering a mere approximation, the Smart Seeder captures real-time data using in-furrow smart sensing tines.

This live data is then analyzed instantly by an on-board processor, which feeds the information to electronically controlled smart row units. Leveraging an internal algorithm, the Smart Seeder dynamically and automatically adjusts seed placement continuously throughout the field.

By planting seeds tailored to the specific soil conditions at each location, the Smart Seeder maximizes crop uniformity, resulting in higher yields and increased productivity. Moreover, the system enhances machine efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and minimizing general wear and tear.

Furthermore, the data generated during the seeding process can be exported and overlaid onto yield field maps, contributing to the farmer's overall knowledge and promoting sustainability within their operation. This integration of technology allows for informed decision-making and continuous improvement in agricultural practices.
