PowerPlant Automated Planting System

Exclusively from ALMACO, the PowerPlant Automated Planting System is the fastest, most efficient planting system available today. Performance accuracy of PowerPlant far exceeds reliability standards of traditional plot planting. The planter is riderless so no operator is required. All plot preparation is done prior to going to the field, and one tractor driver can plant around 5,760 plots while stopping only 2 times to reload the cartridge dispenser. With only one tractor operator needed to plant so many plots, PowerPlant alleviates labor challenges, decreases operational costs, and increases operator safety for greater peace of mind. It’s the future of seed research, and it’s ready to work for you.

Benefits

Efficiency and Productivity
Across the seed research industry, labor shortages have been a challenge for operations. With the PowerPlant Automated Plot Planting System, seed research professionals need less labor to put seed in the ground—reducing input costs. Automation eliminates the labor-intensive nature of manual plot planting, allowing researchers to allocate their time and resources more effectively. The increased efficiency removes human error and accelerates the pace of research and development.

Precision and Consistency
Automation technology ensures that each seed is planted with consistent precision, reducing variability in seed research plots. The precise control of seed placement leads to more consistent field conditions, better data, and faster advancement decisions.

Accelerated Seed Innovation
PowerPlant enables researchers to conduct larger and more intricate experiments than ever before. With an expanded capacity, seed scientists can explore wide varieties of seed offerings to ensure the best seed ends up in farmers’ hands.

Operator Safety and Well-Being
The integration of plot-planting automation technology eliminates the need for operators to physically ride on the planter during plot planting operations. Operator safety is enhanced significantly because there is less risk of an operator falling, physical strain injuries, exposure to chemicals, heat stress, sunburn, and other potential hazards associated with manual operation.
