Abstract
Crop performance and weed suppression increase with increasing crop spatial uniformity.
We use spatial pattern simulations and field experiments to show the current state-of-the-art
for spatial uniformity for different seeding technologies. We use Morisita's Index to quantify
how changes in row width and evenness of spacing within rows influences two-dimensional
spatial quality. The results can be used to define new requirements for improved seeding
technologies to achieve higher benefits in sustainable crop production systems. In general it
can be concluded that more even plant distributions are expected to result in a better crop
plant performance.
