Abstract
A system for monitoring seed placement within the ground during the performance of a planting operation includes a row unit configured to create a furrow in the soil for depositing seeds and to close the furrow after the seeds have been deposited therein, where the seeds deposited within the soil include both real seeds and artificial seeds. The system may further include a seed sensor supported relative to the row unit and configured to generate data indicative of the artificial seeds as planted underneath a surface of the soil according to a dielectric property of the artificial seeds. Additionally, the system may include a computing system configured to receive the data generated by the seed sensor, and to determine a seed-related parameter associated with the artificial seeds as planted underneath the surface of the soil based at least in part on the data generated by the seed sensor.
