Abstract
The purpose of this trial is to make clear the possibility of using Hemp drill as a forage seeder in comparison with hand sowing. 1. As a result of this test this instrument may be useful for orchard-grass alone or orchardgrass mixed with clover, because the amount of seeds sown can be adjusted in the range of 1330-2270gr per 10 a in the former case or 1690-3030 gr per 10a in the latter. 2. It takes about 60 minutes to sow 10a by this seeder with a 4 furrow opener (furrow width 21. 5cm). The efficiency is five times as high as in case of hand sowing. 3. The seed distribution is more homogeneous by this drill than by hand sowing.
