Abstract:

Successful operation of precision planters involves various stages. The testing is an important stage in development of precision planter. In order to provide accurate and several data, an opto electronic measurement system was developed to test the performance of precision planters. It was evaluated with greased belt test rig for real measurements and tested under laboratory conditions for two varieties of maize CO 6 and CO H M 8 seeds. The coefficient of determination, mean absolute percentage error, absolute difference, intercept and slope were found out for two varieties of maize seeds by linear regression respectively as 0.9982 and 0.9987, 2.21 and 2.49, 0.3882 and 0.4576, -0.191 and -0.139, 0.99982 and 0.99937. The opto electronic measurement system eliminates the human errors and complex calibration procedures as well as saves the time and labour requirement.
