furrower
Just more ideas - I think furrower could cover 'enterrage'. Antipianotage is more tricky but could it be something to do with preventing bunching of seed? You might find the site below helpful - it was the only place I could find use of the word 'antipianotage'. Hope this helps and good luck!

just ideas no answer as such
enterrage could mean covering seeds with a layer of soil or burying into the soil crop residues or even grass
as for antipianotage it probably means that there is no "bouncing" effect on the soil, so a smoother job, now for the exact words...I just don't know
hope this might help you or peers find the right term

: Agree that antipianotage sounds like differential "bouncing" of tynes like fingers off a keyboard

skip prevention
Let's try "skip prevention" or "anti-skipping" for antipianotage. I'm deriving this from the following entry in Termium, which is really about channel surfing, but would include remote control of such items as CDs, hence, the "skipping." I believe this entry is more helpful in your context than it apparently was as an attempt to "translate" *zapping*!
