Kverneland Kultistrip

STRIP-TILL

BENEFITS ARE OBVIOUS

REDUCED CULTIVATION BUT HIGH YIELDS

For today’s modern farms the demands for cultivation have changed. Tight time slots, restricted crop rotations, stricter environmental demands and economic aspects call for an adaption in technology that accomplish all requirements of modern cultivation. Kverneland proposes different configurations depending on the conditions of use, but also on the power ability.

Residue-free, deeply loosened seedbed ensures high emergence and deep root formation.

The operation with the Kultistrip improves the water absorption and storage. The soil is better protected against erosion with reduced soil loss and evaporation.

The prepared zonal strips are residue-free and the deeply loosened seedbed ensures high emergence and improved root formation.

In the same pass of cultivation, fertiliser may be placed exactly where the plant needs it during the growth stages. This saves time and energy with maximum of only 50% of the soil being moved at 45cm row spacing. The field remains workable even in difficult weather conditions; this means drilling can be done earlier and driving on the field for crop care and harvesting becomes easier. Plant residues and straw between the strips on the surface help prevent the emergence of weeds sensitive to light.

The disturbed zonal strips of soil allow improved air circulation for a faster increase in temperature and drying during wet conditions.
