Abstract
AbstractCommercially available research plot planters are primarily designed for dryland and/or sprinkler irrigation systems. Research plot establishment in cropping systems involving furrow irrigation requires a planter with an adjustable drive system for diverse furrow spacings. Tool bars should have no interfering support brackets. These features will provide the flexibility needed for a wide range of row and furrow spacings. The planter was designed and constructed for establishing research plots in furrow‐irrigated cropping systems. The planter drive wheels provide flexibility for furrow spacings ranging from 0.25 to 2.2 m. Two tool bars with no interfering support brackets allow numerous row spacing arrangements for seed and furrow openers. The planter can be adjusted quickly (approximately 1h) for different furrow systems, and thus, used for research and/or extension demonstration purposes both on‐ and off‐station.
