  2. Seed Placement and Leaf Orientation Yield increase up to 27.1% and 30.6% (prostrate and erect hybrids respectively at pop 74,100 plants/ha) when compared to random placement

  3. Hand Planter • 159 million ha’s, maize, developed • 34 million ha’s, maize, 3rd world

  4. Of the 159,531,007 hectares of maize in 2009, there were approximately 34,409,010 hectares in the developing world. Of that total, around 60% was planted by hand, representing just over 20,645,000 hectares or 13% of the total maize area in the world (www.faostat.org. Web 24 Sept. 2010).

  6. 3rd world hand planter • If single seeds could be planted 14-17 cm apart, much like conventional planters accomplish in the developed world, production levels could easily increase 25%. • Despite the fact that third world maize yields are generally less than 2.0 Mg/ha (Dowswell et al., 1996), this 25% yield increase on 60% of the hand planted maize area in the third world would be worth more than 3 billion dollars/year (corn price at $0.3/kg) • 20,000,000 ha* 2.0 Mg/ha*0.25(% increase) *0.3 http://nue.okstate.edu/Hand_Planter.htm
