If the plant population in the field does not match the desired one, the following actions may be taken:
a) If the meter is powered by a hydraulic or electric motor, check if the number of holes in the disk is correctly configured in the terminal that controls the motors. Also, verify if the population shown on the display is correct.
b) If the meter is mechanically driven by the planter’s drive wheel, check in the seed rate chart if the correct gears are being used in the gearbox that drives the seed meters.
