ONYX CONCEPT
WEEDING IN THE INTER-ROW
THE ONYX CONCEPT
The ONYX is designed to easily achieve an accurate and consistent result in field. The weeding efficiency is achieved even at high working speed, with or without guidance system depending on the row width, starting from 12.5cm for cereals. The sturdy design of the ONYX ensures a long lasting accuracy and lifetime.
Beneficial for crop and soil
Selective weed control The inter-row cultivator, ONYX offers a maximum in rigidity and adaptability. It is quickly prepared for larger fields by extensions. The parallelograms and working tools are rigid and rule out any wear and play. Stable and high accuracy even down to 12.5cm row width. The exclusive X-CONTROL pressure adjustment (max. 120kg) with a preloaded spring system transfers the load from the frame to the tines. A wide range of shares in Hardox and Tungsten Carbide quality as well as a full range of accessories are available to meet all sorts of conditions. The large diameter of gauge wheel avoids any bulldozing effect. Each element is working independently. Fitted with GEOCONTROL, up to 13 sections are automatically lifted by ISOBUS.
Stimulating physico-chemical reactions and soil life The shallow tillage at 2cm by the Kverneland Onyx improves aeration of the soil as a prerequisite to physicochemical reactions (humification, mineralisation of organic nitrogen). The crops will benefit from the plus of nutrients available with positive impact on the yield. By disrupting the topsoil’s upper layer, the harrow restores the fluids, water, air, vertical flows and stimulates physico- chemical reactions, mineralisation and soil life.
Protecting soil moisture By the flat-bed weeding, the Kverneland Onyx creates an isolating layer to stop the capillary rising of water to the surface, protecting the soil moisture within the seed layer. “One pass of weeding is like two times watering,” says a proverb. With view to the climate change, this is of major importance in dry areas and a general benefit for the crop’s start and growth.
