Title
A comprehensive survey of nondestructive sensing technologies for the detection of corn seeds in a closed trench and measuring planting depth to augment the conventional method.
Abstract
•In this review article several sensing strategies for possible detection of buried corn seeds were discussed.•The ground penetrating radar has been recommended as a viable technique to detect and quantify corn seed planting depth.•Moreover, a combination of more than one strategy may lead to enhanced corn seed detection.•Planter kinematics are highly variable due to confounding factors in the field.•As reported by several researchers, subsurface detection is challenging task more especially dealing with changing soils.
