Find Your Chart and Rate
Standard “2 star” rates are in the main section of the
Seed Rate manual. “3 star” and “4 star” and Small Seeds
rates are in the Appendix of the Seed Rate manual.
If you are planning to apply two different materials (such
as seed and fertilizer) in each hopper, perform the setup
steps separately for each hopper, as the configurations
(including stars) may be completely different.
1.
Confirm that the chart is for the material and star
configuration you have.
2.
Find your target population or application rate.
Note: If you have a choice of charts, for most consistent
results, pick one that results in a variable rate
gearbox value between 30 and 70.
“High Rate” charts are provided for some seeds, but the
charts do not cover all possible combinations of
dual-hopper and/or high-rate flutes. You can use any
standard-rate single-hopper chart.
To find the initial chart rate
In the example, the desired field rate was 200 lbs/ac.
100 = 200
× 0.5
Lookup settings for 100 lbs/ac. in the charts. Initially set
each meter for a 100 lbs/ac rate, and calibrate.
Adjustment for Small Seeds
Small Seeds rates are provided for some
a
, but not all
seeds that might be compatible with the optional
smaller/shallow flute shaft. If the seed has a chart for the
standard shaft, choose a chart rate that is about 500%
(5x) the desired field rate. The Small Seeds shaft meters
at between 20% and 50% of the standard shaft.
Monitor Material Configuration
The DICKEY-john
®
IntelliAg
®
monitor reads meter shaft
speeds and can report pounds/acre (or kg/ha) planted.
In order to report accurately, the monitor requires several
inputs. Inputs that rarely change were entered during
cart setup. Inputs specific to particular materials (seed or
fertilizer) need to be entered when those materials are
first used, and when changed.
