Zusammenfassung:A seed treater having an automatic calibration system comprises a pump for pumping a seed treatment liquid, a container downstream of the pump for receiving the seed treatment liquid from the pump, the container having a first level sensor and a second level sensor between which a predetermined volume is defined and for signalling when the predetermined volume of seed treatment liquid has filled the container, an applicator for applying the seed treatment to seeds and a controller for automatically adjusting a flow rate of the liquid in response to a time required to fill the container. Adjusting the flow rate may be done by adjusting a speed of the pump.
