With the CX-II double-entry coulter two seed types are placed not in the same sowing row but in a certain sequence e.g. rape as main crop and beans as a companion crop. Slug pellets are applied with the a-drill via the baffle plate into the soil stream of the following harrow. The beans freeze over the winter and do not compete with the rape in springtime. In addition to N-fixation and the contribution to erosion control, companion crops can provide other benefits such as improved soil fertility, reduced pest pressure and a weed-suppressing effect until the end of vegetation. The coulter pressure to achieve the deeper sowing depth of the beans is very high. For the shallower rape sowing depth, the setting of the press wheel of according coulter is adjusted differently via the hole pattern.

With the CX-II double-entry coulter two seed types are placed in the same sowing row e.g. beans/peas and rye/triticale. With the soil flow of the following harrow a third seed is applicated e.g. clover for weed control and increase soil fertility due to its ability to fix nitrogen from the air at the roots.

Sunflowers are planted in every fourth row, maintaining a distance of 50cm between each seed and sowing them at a depth of 5cm. To increase biodiversity, clover is sown in the remaining rows at a depth of 2cm. Slug pellets were applied using the a-drill. The clover will not freeze but will cover the soil, providing a greening effect. This improves soil stability and carrying capacity. The intensive rooting of diverse root systems protects the soil against erosion. Humus formation is enhanced, while water-holding capacity and infiltration are improved. Nutrients and CO 2 are bound. Additionally, clover being a legume, helps fix nitrogen from the air into the soil. Clover can also be used as forage and as an energy source.

A mixture of small seed such as ray grass, phacelia and a bigger seed like peas in one sowing row and clover via the a-drill to cover the soil quickly.
