During planting, your planter’s performance is critical to ensuring that seeds, upon coming into contact with the soil, are able to efficiently utilize available resources for full germination and uniform emergence.
With the main challenges faced by our customers in mind, we decided to get closer to the field and work together to develop highly effective solutions that truly contribute to crop success.
Common problems that cause delayed emergence in crops
In addition to the topics listed here, adverse weather conditions or poor seed quality can also be factors, but we will focus our discussion here on conditions related to the planter itself.
One of the biggest challenges our customers face when planting is ensuring that seeds are deposited at the ideal depth. Traditionally, row-force systems on planters use mechanical springs, which allow for individual adjustments row by row. However, these adjustments are made manually and rely heavily on the operator’s prior knowledge and experience.
Given this operational complexity and the extreme reliance on stoppages for manual adjustments, Jumil has developed a solution to ensure uniform seed depth, with a simplified adjustment mechanism that allows for uniform germination even under adverse conditions.
For hassle-free adjustments and easy maintenance
For precise control of seed and fertilizer
application and elimination of heavy maintenance
For precision agriculture challenges,
including inefficient use of inputs and a lack of adjustments
The IPS system—Bosch’s Intelligent Planting Solution—was designed to meet the needs of farmers, increasing efficiency and maximizing planting results. The display is easy to configure and operate during planting, showing relevant information that the operator can access at any time.
Important: Despite its simplicity, the system’s installation and maintenance must be performed by qualified and trained personnel to ensure that the manufacturer’s recommendations are followed.
For monitoring with basic functions on the monitor
Cutting power and soil loosening in a single tool
The Guillotine Kit combines the best features of each tool in a practical, easy-to-use design, preventing jamming even in the densest straw beds, rod breakage caused by stones, and clod formation in the furrow. This reduces the power requirement per row and ensures that each seed is planted at the same depth. As a result, it promotes excellent seedling germination and uniform emergence.
Renew your pasture, increase your litter layer, and improve your ground cover
The Brachiaria Kit is designed for sowing grass and legume seeds. This technique is used to sow fine-grained seeds between the rows of the main crop to provide ground cover and soil protection, resulting in better moisture retention during pasture establishment. Recommended for crop-livestock integration, it is suitable for planting a proportional second-crop corn crop after the grain has been harvested or used for pasture.
This solution can be mounted on any machine, offering twice the seed capacity and ensuring smooth seed flow. Equipped with gates to control opening and closing, it guarantees high planting efficiency by extending the interval between refills.
The system features independent hydraulic units, ideal for tractors without variable flow control that need to power hydraulic motors. In addition, it offers complete flexibility with conversion kits that allow you to switch between PTO and motor drive, depending on operational needs.
With a versatile design—available in turbo, wavy, corrugated, or grooved models—this component is specifically designed to cut straw and monitor furrow cleanliness. This eliminates the risk of clogging and seed entanglement, ensuring precise and uniform seed placement.
Planting furrow inoculators help optimize crop yields by applying the treatment directly to the soil. This technology outperforms conventional seed treatment methods, ensuring greater efficiency and biological performance from the very start of the growing season.

Trimble EFX 350 controller kits for variable-rate application.
Fertisystem kits with an extension allow for the modernization of older machines, such as the 2880/2980 and 7080/7090 series. They ensure optimal fertilizer metering with complete precision, regardless of the ground’s slope.
The system enables mirrored cutting, which eliminates clogging and seed wrapping issues. In addition, it allows for surface fertilization, ensuring greater efficiency and smoother operation.
