Our patent-pending ALMACO SeedPro Elite Research Planter delivers the most precise seed placement and the best targeted plot dimensions compared to any other plot planter in the industry. This means your border plants in each plot have equal sunlight exposure and soil nutrient opportunity. In addition, carryover is reduced because it is easier to harvest each plot without taking plants from each other. Aligned alleys and uniform plot dimensions are not just aesthetically pleasing, but also drive better data. Combined with electrical individual row controls and flexible mapping, SeedPro Elite provides unrivaled control of your seed research data and unmatched data quality.

The efficient design of the SeedPro 360 Research Planter meets the need for a simplified, high-precision seed meter. A large diameter pick-up plate allows for consistent seed pick up even at lower plate RPMs. With high accuracy and a triple-roller design for accurate singulation, it features low seed-size sensitivity for precise seed placement every time. SeedPro 360 is available as a retrofit for most other ALMACO planters, competitive seed research planters, and most commercial planters to provide a simple and affordable option for seed research professionals around the world.

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.to start earlier and finish faster.

Engineered and tested for crop compatibility, our Cone Plot Planters are one of the most versatile plot planting designs in the ALMACO lineup.

The seed is metered with cone planting units and distributed by a spin divider for proven planting dependability and multi-crop compatibility. Strong and reliable openers and closing wheels come standard. Adjustable row spacing supports the unique needs of each seed research application.

The ALMACO Light-Duty Grain Drill (LDGD) is custom designed for efficient operation in conventional- to no-tillage applications. While this implement is for light-duty operations, the channel iron framework is formed with 10-guage steel and made to last. The seed is metered with cone planting units and distributed by a spin divider for proven planting dependability and multi-crop compatibility. John Deere openers with depth control and strong closing wheels come standard. Adjustable row spacing supports the unique needs of each seed research application. Available in 3- to 12-row configurations, the LDGD can be equipped with automated planting technology for even more efficient operation.

Constructed with a wooden block, the ALMACO Hand Jab Standard-Style Planter is light weight for operator comfort. The planter is ideal for well-worked soil or sandy conditions. The wider barrel and planter bit are simple to use while maintaining a high attention to accuracy.
