CROSS SLOT® openers
Double disc openers.
Conclusions:
CROSS SLOT® openers produced superior seedling emergence counts of barley in all six experiments.
The superiority of the CROSS SLOT® opener over the double disc opener ranged from 40% to 440%.
The average superiority of the CROSS SLOT® opener over the double disc opener was approximately 210%.
