This paper was focused on the determination of the accuracy of the satellite navigation system based on using the correction signal real-time kinematic and its correct application for planting a wide-row crop (sunflower) and seeding a narrow-row crop (spring barley). The aim of the field experiment was also to specify the level of the necessary accuracy of satellite navigation systems during planting and seeding. The length of seeding/planting equipment was confronted with the accuracy of navigation of individual passes, especially when turning on the headlands. We can state that the use of the satellite navigation system studied is suitable for both type of crops tested. We recommend to join the seeder/planter only with a tractor if possible. When using combined field machines, we recommend to use a tractor with an automatic headland management system.
