INTEGRA Gets Advanced Seed Monitoring Functionality

Ag Leader Technology announced that it will make Advanced Seed Monitoring through the SeedCommand system available by next February. Advanced Seed Monitoring — available on the INTEGRA display — provides planter performance monitoring of seed meter singulation, skips/doubles and spacing quality, along with population and spacing information for all rows when corn planting.

The INTEGRA display features a full-screen planter performance view that includes display items and bar graphs for population, singulation, skips/doubles and spacing quality. All of these features are available while the display is simultaneously performing guidance, mapping and autosteer functions. Growers looking to eliminate yield robbing planter problems such as poor seed spacing and singulation will find this system extremely valuable and easy to use, says Roger Zielke, SeedCommand Product Manager.

“The INTEGRA display’s 12.1″ screen provides the industry’s largest view of the performance of all rows. Problematic rows stand out with one glance at the screen.” Also, a virtual seed trench view shows the placement of each seed of a problematic row to help determine if the problem is in the seed meter or seed tube, he adds.

In addition, Advanced Seed Monitoring automatically determines and displays the rows operating at the highest and lowest levels for singulation and population. All of this functionality is joined with Ag Leader’s popular SeedCommand row shutoff and planter-drive modules on one screen. Existing INTEGRA and SeedCommand Seed Tube Monitor module owners can take advantage of Advanced Seed Monitoring with the February 2011 INTEGRA firmware update.
