seeding coulters
Explanation:
I think they are referring to the discs that actually deposit the seed in the furrow/the ground, and this term generates a lot of hits. I don't think seed discs is wrong, but some planters have interchangeable rotary discs with appropriate size holes in the machine itself that allow the seed to fall through. But the things that actually put the seed in the ground are usually referred to as coulters, and I think that's what they're talking about here.
