Vetted performance Findings of manufacturer evaluations or independent testing centers

The performance of the product was tested at three different speeds and at three different quantity levels of the drum. The seed rate, hill to hill spacing, seeds/hill, and hill missing index were compared for each of the different conditions.The following table shows the results of the test.

Drum fill level	Treatments	Seed rate	Hill to hill spacing	Seeds /hill	Hill missing index
Full	T1	9.09	14.67	4	7.5
