Kinze Announces Worlds First Electric Multi-Hybird Concept Planter
Kinze Manufacturing, Inc., Williamsburg, IA, recently announced the world’s first electric multi-hybrid concept planter, created to help farmers optimize their seed hybrids and increase their yields. Multi-hybrid technology provides farmers with the ability to automatically change the seed hybrid they are planting as the planter moves through the field.
Instead of selecting an average seed variety for use across an entire field, seed hybrids can be selected and automatically planted to suit different field management zones.
“The electric multi-hybrid planter will allow farmers to maximize yield in every part of their field, and not have to make compromises,” said Rhett Schildroth, senior product manager at Kinze Manufacturing. “The yield gains in our trials varied from 2 bushels per acre to more than 10 bushels per acre by utilizing multi-hybrid planting. And unlike other crop practices that seem to have good results one year and negative results the next, every trial we’ve conducted with multi-hybrid planting has resulted in a yield increase.”
