DECOP-T Seed Test Sowing Head:

Precision seeding for nursery trials and research centers

Introduction

The DECOP-T is a precision test seeder machine designed for nursery trials, laboratory tests, and research centers. It provides outstanding accuracy when sowing very small seed batches (for seed testings), even with multiple seed types per tray and custom configurations. This compact and highly adaptable unit uses a vacuum plate seeding system that guarantees precise seed placement in every cell. When combined with Control Visio, Smart Sowing’s artificial vision and data recording system, users gain full traceability, increased control, and improved reliability throughout the sowing process.

Main Features of DECOP-T Seed Test Sowing Head (Test Seeder)

  1. High-Precision Seed Selection

Seed selection takes place prior to sowing, allowing simple and quick adjustment for different seed types. This ensures maximum sowing accuracy across a wide variety of seed calibers and shapes.

  1. Maximum Versatility

The DECOP-T seeding head can handle small seed quantities in any tray format. It supports flexible sowing modes — row by row, grouped rows, or half-tray configurations — and can combine different seed types in the same tray, ideal for seed trials and comparative research.

  1. Easy Setup and Operation

Changing seeds is fast and tool-free, with no need for mechanical calibration of the plates. A mini vacuum unit recovers leftover seeds, while compressed air pulses automatically clean the nozzles after each cycle to prevent clogging and ensure continuous performance.

Integration and Adaptability

The DECOP-T can be integrated into any existing sowing line, saving time and enhancing flexibility in research workflows.
Its design allows seed or tray changes in under five minutes, with a test cycle available to verify precision and correct seed centering in each cell. This guarantees uniform sowing and optimal seedling quality.

Ideal for Small-Scale Seed Trials (Test Seeder)

The DECOP-T is the perfect choice for sowing small batches or rare seed lots in experimental setups.
It is compatible with a broad range of seed calibers — from very fine seeds like petunia, to large or irregular ones such as pine (Pinus pinea) and tagetes.
Optional multi-group and multi-sowing configurations offer enhanced efficiency and flexibility for complex test designs.

Benefits at a Glance

  • Accurate and repeatable sowing for research and testing.
  • Compatible with all nursery tray formats.
  • Integrates easily into automated sowing lines.
  • Ideal for laboratories, R&D departments, and seed trial facilities.
  • Reduces manual labor and seed waste.
  • Optional Control Visio system for real-time monitoring and data logging.

Conclusion

The DECOP-T Seed Test Sowing Head (for Test Seeder) is an essential tool for precision seeding in research and nursery applications.
Its speed, adaptability, and reliability make it a key component for anyone conducting experimental sowing or small-batch production.
When integrated with Smart Sowing’s vision systems, it provides complete control, full data traceability, and measurable improvement in seed placement accuracy.
