ABSTRACT FOUR commercial row crop planter units were evaluated for their seed metering ability in selecting single edible bean seed and how the seed was spaced in the furrow. Five varieties of ungraded edible beans were used for evaluation. None of the units could maintain selection accuracy within 5% for the speeds tested. Spacing of seed in the furrow was primarily random.
