“…Punch planting is an old method of sowing, which, in its simplest form, consists of two operations: a hole is punched in the soil with a dibber, and the seed is dropped into it. In the literature, this principle is also called dibble planting (Heinemann et al. , 1973) and dibber drilling (Brown et al.…”

Punch planting is introduced as a new method to reduce weeds within rows in organically grown crops. In this method a hole is punched in the soil, and a seed is dropped into it, without seedbed preparation and soil disturbance outside the hole. In 2 years, punch planting with flame weeding, normal planting with flame weeding and normal planting without flame weeding were compared in fodder beet for five planting dates. Each planting date represented a lag-period since establishment of the stale seedbed. Over all planting times and years, punch planting with flame weeding reduced intrarow weed densities by 30% at the two to four leaf stage of fodder beet compared with normal drilling with flame weeding. Punch planting with flame weeding also reduced intra-row weed densities by 50% compared with normal drilling without flame weeding. In general, there was no improved performance of punch planting with flame weeding over years by later planting, but delayed planting reduced intra-row weed densities significantly. Over 2 years, 240 day degrees Celsius (4 weeks) planting delay reduced intra-row weed densities in the range of 68-86% depending on plant establishment procedure. Punch planting with flame weeding offers a promising method of weed control in organic farming.

“…There have been several methods developed and researched to punch planting holes in a plastic mulch bed prior to planting (Jafari and Fornstrom, 1972;Heinemann et al, 1973;Herzoni et al, 1986;Munilla and Shaw, 1987). The primary reason for this was that many horticultural crops require different within-row and between-row spacings as well as hole depth within the bed.…”

“…Experimental machines using pneumatic, electromagnetic, cam-activated, and wheel-type systems for hole placement have been developed. Heinemann et al (1973) developed an experimental machine to place holes in soil using a pneumatic cylinder. The pneumatic cylinder was mounted vertically and was placed behind a ground-driven wheel.…”
