Going to plant beans with my Allis air planter. How much powdered graphite should I add to the seed? The John Deere 7000 we would just put a table spoon or so to a full planter hopper.

Really? That works for me. The previous owner used quite a bit. The seed hoppers are very dark from all the graphite. Thanks DrAllis. Lonn

None. All it does is coat the eye on the seed sensor, causing it to read a low (or none) population.
