Development History, Status and Trends of Plot Seeder

Abstract:

Plot seeder is a special seeder for field experiment on developing new varieties, breeding high quality seed and holding comparison test of varieties. The three stages of plot seeder development (germination stage, development stage and improvement stage) in developed countries and the development over 30 years in China were introduced. Working principle, characteristic and common types of plot seeder at the present time are shown. The trends of plot seeder from 4 aspects, including structure and types, application, research, manufacturers, show development of plot seeder is benign and China will make important contribution in the application for plot seeder development.
