Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to precision agriculture. More specifically, the disclosure relates to systems for metering and distributing seeds in planting fields. The disclosure refers to a pneumatic seed metering device that provides an optimized seed distribution for soybean planting. The meter releases the soybean seeds by vacuum cutting and letting the seeds fall by gravity. A seed disk is equipped with a plurality of seed holes spaced radially along a seed passage region, and the seed disk drive is performed at a peripheral region of the seed disk. The plurality of seed holes are arranged in a single row with a distance between two consecutive seed holes being in a range of 2.1 to 3.5 times the diameter of one of the seed holes, the diameter of the holes being defined in a range of 3.5 to 4.5 mm.
