FLEXIBLE IN ALL ROW CROPS AND CEREALS INTER-ROW CULTIVATION AT THE RIGHT TIME
Certain weeds have developed resistance against herbicides, and chemicals will slow down crop development. Thus, an alternative is needed for effective weed control under different conditions. Mechanical weeding in row crops and cereals is an efficient tool for healthy plant growth as the basis for our customers’ yield and profit, as well as for a safe food production. The inter-row cultivator Onyx works in case of resistance and can be used in row crops and cereals. It will get as close to the plants as possible without damaging the crops by ensuring the straight line within the row. Penetration of the soil and an even depth control are challenging. Straight and accurate rows are needed with the row widths differing from crop to crop. Moreover, changing soil conditions and fields which are located on hills and slopes can be difficult and request versability by adjustable tools and efficient track control. Furthermore, due to the climate changes, farmers are often faced with draught resulting in hard soil surface with limited water reserve or slaking crusts after heavy rain falls. Therefore, there is a strong need of sustainability to restore water and air flow and to protect the soil moisture, improving the nutrients supply of the roots. By surface capping the upper topsoil, breaking the capped surface on certain soils after rain, it restores the water and air flow, stimulating physico-chemical reactions and soil life. By creating a weatherproof layer stopping the capillary rising of water to the surface, it also increases the water reserve. Precision is the key to success. For different crops and row widths, a quick adaptation is possible. Also the working width is adjustable to meet the requirements of various field and farm sizes. Individual rows can be switched on and off. An even depth and pressure control is ensured over the entire working width. Low lifting requirement reduces soil compaction. For operating in challenging conditions, the inter- row cultivator is prepared for extra control and guidance.
