The 16-meter Horsch Maestro sows up to 200 hectares of wheat per day.

At the "Akvavika-T" farm, they tested the Horsch Maestro row crop planter for wheat sowing and compared different methods of seed placement. Based on the results of the experiment

In the "Akvavika-T" farm, a Horsch Maestro row crop planter was tested for wheat sowing, and different seed placement methods were compared. According to the trial results, continuous sowing yielded 3–5 centners per hectare higher than alternative schemes. This was reported by the farm's director and chief agronomist, Vadym Lozinsky, in the journal The Ukrainian Farmer. The company compared the operation of a 12-meter grain planter and a 16-meter Horsch Maestro. According to the agronomist, the first can sow up to 100 hectares per day, while the Maestro can cover up to 200 hectares. Additionally, the row crop planter allows reducing the sowing rate by 50–80 kg/ha. During the trials, wheat was sown with different rates—from 1 to 3 million seeds per hectare—with row spacing of 45 and 22.5 cm, as well as using square-nosed, cross, and diagonal methods. Ultimately, the farm settled on continuous sowing with a rate of 3.5 million seeds per ...
