N2 - The current non-uniform crop spatial distributions of individual cereal plants and widerspacedrow crops like maize and sugar beet can limit crop performance because of nonoptimalresource utilization. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potentialinfluence of two-dimensional crop plant uniformity on the yield of oil seed rape. Voronoipolygons (tessellations) which define the area closer to an individual than to any otherindividual were used as a measure of the area available to each plant, and corrections wereincluded for extreme polygon shape and eccentricity of the plant location within the polygon.These adjusted polygon areas were used to investigate the potential influence of two of themost important determinants of crop sowing spatial uniformity: row width and longitudinalspacing accuracy, on yield per unit area, and to ask how changes in seeding technology wouldinfluence crop performance. The potential for increased yield with improved seedingtechnology was shown. The results suggest that precision seeding can increase yield by 10 %.
