An Experimental Plot Planter for Peanuts, Arachis hypogaea L.1

Thomas W. Culp2

A two-row Cole planter was modified to seed experimental plots of peanuts. A spring-clutch is inserted in the drive shaft to disengage the seed plate assembly and the drive wheel. A hand-crank is attached to the drive shaft above the slip-clutch. When the crank is turned, the seed plate spins and expels the seed from the hopper. Thus, the seed hopper can be rapidly cleaned of remnant seed after each plot is planted.

Key Words: experimental technique • method

1 Cooperative investigations of Crops Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute Research Division, Tidewater Research Station, Holland. The author wishes to acknowledge the help and suggestions of Pittman Wood and Metal Products Co. in the construction and installation of the clutches and cranks and Ed's Welding Service for the seats of the planter.
