SEEDPROe: The Electric Seeder Designed for Mulch and Bare Ground Applications
C&M (Checchi & Magli) has expanded its lineup of precision planting equipment with the introduction of the SEEDPROe, an innovative electric seeder released in Spring 2025. Engineered for use on both mulch and bare ground, the SEEDPROe is the only machine in the world capable of sowing and transplanting directly on mulch, offering unmatched flexibility and precision for modern vegetable growers.
Equipped with a fully electric drive and pneumatic seed distribution system, the SEEDPROe delivers exceptional accuracy and control. Its 24-hole seeding disc handles a wide range of seed sizes, from small vegetable seeds to larger cucurbit varieties, with planting distances adjustable between 25 and 200 cm. The vacuum-assisted loading system ensures uniform placement, achieving up to 10,000 seeds per hour with a 90% success rate. An optional synchronized watering system provides localized water delivery to each seed.
Built with efficiency and sustainability in mind, the SEEDPROe is compatible with biodegradable and plastic mulch films, allowing growers to maintain soil health and reduce weed pressure without sacrificing productivity. Its modular design enables quick transitions between sowing and transplanting, making it an ideal choice for farmers who alternate between direct seeding and transplanting depending on the season. The SEEDPROe also integrates seamlessly with Checchi & Magli’s WOLF PRO and SMARTWOLF transplanters for complete field solutions.
For vegetable growers seeking higher precision, labor savings, and adaptability in mulch-based systems, the SEEDPROe represents a major step forward in electric seeding technology.
