Five-Year Planting Depth Study in Corn

AGCO puts farmers first, and that means discovering ways to unlock yield potential while farming more efficiently and sustainably. AGCO’s Agronomy and Advanced Farm Solutions team is hard at work bringing the latest research from fields around the globe to the farmers who feed the world. Check back every Tuesday for a new agronomic research study as the team explores different crops, equipment, pathogens, and growing practices.

Five-Year Row-Unit Downforce Control Study in Corn

The study was conducted from 2016 to 2020 on 25 fields* across multiple states in the U.S. that encompassed different soil types, tillage systems, and planting conditions. At each field, three side-by-side treatments consisted of automatic downforce control versus two fixed down pressure settings, heavy or light

Three-Year Closing Wheel Study in Corn

The study was conducted from 2017 to 2019 on 8* different fields. At each location, four different side-by-side treatments consisted of closing wheel settings one (least aggressive), two, three, or four (most aggressive).

Singulation in Sunflowers

To compare sunflower yields from crops planted with precise and poor singulation (seed spacing).

One-Year Spring Tillage Study in Corn & Soybeans

In 2019, a multi-year tillage study was initiated to further learn how different tillage practices impact soil conditions and planter performance, crop establishment, crop development, and grain yield.
