Crop geometry plays a vital role in ensuring proper plant growth and yield. Check row
planting allows adequate space for weeding in both direction and allowing sunlight down to the
bottom of the crop. Therefore, a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) navigated electronic seed
metering system for check row planting of maize seeds was developed. The system is comprised
of a LiDAR-based distance measurement unit, electronic seed metering mechanism and a wireless
communication system. The electronic seed metering mechanism was evaluated in the laboratory
for five different cell sizes (8.80, 9.73, 10.82, 11.90 and 12.83 mm) and linear cell speed (89.15, 99.46,
111.44, 123.41 and 133.72 mm·s
−1
). The research shows the optimised values for the cell size and
linear speed of cell were found to be 11.90 mm and 99.46 mm·s
−1
respectively. A light dependent
resistor (LDR) and light emitting diode (LED)-based seed flow sensing system was developed to
measure the lag time of seed flow from seed metering box to bottom of seed tube. The average lag
time of seed fall was observed as 251.2 ± 5.39 ms at an optimised linear speed of cell of 99.46 mm·s
−1
and forward speed of 2 km·h
−1
. This lag time was minimized by advancing the seed drop on the
basis of forward speed of tractor, lag time and targeted position. A check row quality index (ICRQ)
was developed to evaluate check row planter. While evaluating the developed system at different
forward speeds (i.e., 2, 3 and 5 km·h
−1
), higher standard deviation (14.14%) of check row quality
index was observed at forward speed of 5 km·h
−1
.
