In the laboratory setting, a drum seeder is employed, featuring a ground wheel with

a diameter of 57.4 centimeters. This seeder comprises with two drums, each
containing four rows of holes, along with a skid complete with a marker and a
handle.The metering mechanism in a drum seeder is responsible for regulating the
flow of seeds from the seed hopper into the planting drums. It ensures that the
appropriate amount of seeds is dispensed uniformly across the planting area.

let's calculate the average discharge for each adjustment level:

For the 1/4 adjustment: (1.7 + 1.84 + 1.78) / 3 = 1.773 kg/ha

For the 1/2 adjustment: (1.46 + 1.41 + 1.38) / 3 = 1.416 kg/ha
For the 3/4 adjustment: (0.96 + 1.05 + 1.05) / 3 = 1.02 kg/ha
For the full adjustment: (0.84 + 0.80 + 0.88) / 3 = 0.84 kg/ha

From the analysis, it appears that the 1/4 adjustment level has the highest average
discharge (1.773 kg/ha), followed by the 1/2 adjustment level (1.416 kg/ha), 3/4
adjustment level (1.02 kg/ha), and full adjustment level (0.84 kg/ha).

Therefore, based on the data analysis, the best adjustment of the drum seeder to be
used in the field would be the 1/4 adjustment level, as it results in the highest
average discharge of seeds per hectare. This adjustment level seems to provide the
most efficient seed distribution compared to the other adjustment levels tested.
