This paper provides key information on 4 no-tillage planters to facilitate adoption by farmers in northern Australia. Four commercial planters of contrasting design were tested in various configurations under 5 different moisture regimes during drying of a heavy-textured Alfisol at Katherine Research Station at the end of the wet season.
