Best answer
The correct choice is (d) Weather

To elaborate: The spacing of seeds or hills in the row is determined by the ratio of linear or peripheral speed of the cells to the forward speed of the planter and by the distance between the cells in the metering unit. The accuracy of the planter depends upon several factors such as: speed of seed plate, shape of hopper bottom, shape and size of cells, uniformity of seed size.
