Alina Castillo, Machinery Instructor, from the Department of Agricultural Science and Production, explain step by step how to properly calibrate a planter: from cleaning and inspecting its components to adjusting depth, pressure, seed density, and operating speed. They also emphasize the importance of verifying field performance to ensure uniform planting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Proper calibration not only improves planting precision, but also leads to higher yields and better profitability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc18189 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cc18189\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For more information: rlardizabal@zamorano.edu<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-133fa48 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"133fa48\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=jYjts5eREvc&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Properly calibrating a planter can determine up to 50% of a crop\u2019s yield.
