[QUOTE="York, post: 636721, member: 1738"] I looked at the Amazone research on row spacing. OK, if you look at it from the scientific standards, they are sound, no debate. But, we need, and all their comments indicate this, like Look with same seeding rate we get too much inner row competition, we need to have a systemic approach. so we need to lower the seed rate so the inner row distance of the single seed to each other are not getting tooo close. For me there is much more relevance from a organic researcher, which did follow a more system comparison trial. Also to scientific standards. He said that up to 25 cm row spacing there is no yield loss if you do it right. so the inner row competition between the seeds is very important to take into account. Furthermore, since Vaderstad with a Seed Hawk is able to get 10 t/ha wheat in northern Germany, why should I even start to question this? this is on farmers fields, not trials. Please understand, that Amazone was one of the driving forces in the early 70's for this 12.5 cm row spacing to get farmers to buy new drills after every one got the conversion from horse drawn drills to tractor drills. Amazone even invented the plow new. Only my friend Michael H. is not having his own plow design. But maybe he is going to buy soon a bankrupt plow manufacturer. York-Th. [/QUOTE]
