Abstract
A seed tab for a planter has an elongate body configured for attachment to a seed boot of a seed meter. The elongate body has a curved surface defining a first arc having an axis of curvature in a first direction. The curved surface exhibits a concave cross-section defining a second arc having an axis of curvature in a second direction generally perpendicular to the first direction. The elongate body has a first portion having an approximately constant width adjacent the first end. The elongate body has a second portion having a tapered width adjacent the second end. A maximum width of the second portion is greater than the constant width of the first portion. Seeding machines have seeder row units with such seed tabs.
