The success of the establishment of a crop depend on several factors and the seeders press wheels should be capable to improve the contact soil-seed in order to promote good seed germination. The present work had as objective to study the influence of three models of press wheel, three depths of sowing and three load levels on the press wheel on the germination and development of the corn grow, in a projected sowing assay lane for this purpose. The experiment was carried out at municipal district of Uberaba - MG, Brazil, in a split plot array, with 27 treatments and four replications, used to evaluate agronomic characteristics of the corn crop. The results evidenced that the depth of sowing was the factor that more affected the vegetative development of the corn crop in the stadium 2, and none of the evaluated characteristics in the stadium 4 had significant differences in the measures of the corn development.
