Conservation agriculture is at the heart of our concerns.
This no-till drill is the result of a long period of collaboration with experienced no-till drill farmers. The challenge was to imagine a drill allowing us to overcome the difficulties encountered with actual no-till drill: Residue in the furrow, difficulty in penetrating hard/dry soil and difficulty in closing seed furrow in wet conditions.
The range is large and scalable to answer everyone’s need: from 3 to 12m, with no or up to 4 dosing unit, 16.7 cm,18.75 cm, 20 cm or 25 cm row spacings
Thanks to both field testing and 3D modelling we have calculated different simulations using both existing and new designs of disc coulter. We have considered the soil as a known material to see if any correlations appear.
The red zones show compaction, blue show little compaction.
Red zones have confirmed the two difficulties of penetrating in the dry versus closing a furrow in the wet. It has also shown how a lack of row cleaners can cause more severe compaction when planting. More residue means a greater surface area pushing down and therefore a wider and larger compacted area.
It is simple to understand that when any seed germinates it first anchors itself with roots and begins nutrient and water uptake, so it is vital that this first stage of life is a success.
