Setup for Corn Planting:
Using the AE-15 Double Shoot Opener with NH3 system, you can plant the corn in paired rows
and put the NH3 below the seed in 30” rows. The seed corn best recommended for us is a
medium round size seed.
Mid Banding NH3:
Using the AE-SS Liquid or NH3 Opener you will be able to incorporate NH3 between the 30” rows
for later use during the growing season.
See the following information for setting up seeder for 30” rows.
Tips for Planting Corn:
1. Installation of 24-12 or 32-16 manifold reduction lids.
2. Corn seed selection (Medium Rounds are best recommended).
3. The corn air stream should have the starter mixed with the corn so the product volume is
larger for better distribution.
4. It is advised to use the triple shoot opener on the rows planting corn so that in the case of
two seeds coming up the air stream they have a chance to be spread 7.5” to reduce double
seeds.
5. Seed sensors not in use should be cancelled.
6. Seed and starter fertilizer are in one air stream so now you are seeding with 24-30” or 16-
30” rows. The nitrogen source however should be on all 48 or 16 rows to lower the
concentration of fertilizer on the row. It is suggested that the single shoot opener be used
on the mid-row opener.
7. Mid-row fertilizer is a huge benefit as corn plants use late season mid-row fertilizer. This
technique could reduce the nitrogen requirement per bushel of production.
8. Calibration should be done by referring to the seed weight of the corn and calibrated in
grams. Seed counting sensors will not work due to the fertilizer in the air stream with the
corn. It is advised to put one bag of corn seed in the seed tank at a time. Then perform
the calibration. After calibration, seed out the corn in the tank and check the cares
covered.
9. Make sure to use the seed check process when calibrating for corn.
10. Corn should be planted at least 1.5-2“ deep. Corn seed takes more soil moisture to
germinate due to the size of the seed.
11. High speed seeding is not recommended on corn.
NOTE: Planting corn with any air seeder planting system will not have the picture perfect
singulation of an actual corn planter. The newer corn genetics will somewhat compensate
for this, however, even emergence, is the most important issue and goal to achieve.
