1. Geometric Assessment of Software-Based Path Planning for Mechanized Seeding Operations

This study evaluated the impact of different software-based planning routines on the geometry of guidance lines for mechanized seeding operations. A controlled comparative case-study approach was implemented using two agricultural fields in Minas Gerais, Brazil. One irregular field of 33.6 ha and one predominantly rectilinear field of 107.6 ha. Two anonymized tools, Software A and Software B, were applied to identical boundary polygons, with one headland pass and 9 m line spacing. The exported... A. Felipe Dos Santos, R.D. Borges, M.C.
