ABSTRACT
Owing to the importance of grain crops such as maize, soybean, cowpea, guinea corn, etc to the teeming population, urgent measures need to be employed to ensure enhanced productivity in order to meet demand for food, and other requirements by man and animals. Most of the existing planters are designed to plant specific crops whereas the three-row multi-crop planter is designed to plant different crops with the principle of changing the metering plates when required to plant another crop.
