U-DRILL PLUS
FERTILISER PLACEMENT
IN OR BETWEEN THE ROWS
The u-drill plus has been designed for precise fertiliser placement during sowing. It is able to apply fertiliser rates up to 400kg/ha (depending on speed and width). The pressurised hopper system of the 6.0m version ensures these rates are maintained even under the most difficult conditions. The hydraulic fan drive is powered from the tractor hydraulics. 1. Fertiliser placement within the conical disc harrow section The outlets within the second row of the disc harrow section apply the fertiliser exactly in between two seeding rows. All plants have exactly the same access to the incorporated fertiliser deposit. By adjusting the working depth of the disc harrow, the depth of the fertiliser placement is determined. 2. Fertiliser application within the seeding row The fertiliser application within the seeding row is done by the double-entry CD-coulter. The fertiliser is placed together with the seeds. This is especially suitable for phosphoric fertiliser to support the initial germination and development of the plants in the most efficient way. The special design of the double-entry coulter with two exits also allows the seeding of two different crops in just one working pass.

Up to 12% increase in yield.
In trials of spring sown crops, yields have shown increases up to 12% compared to crops where the fertiliser (here: NPK) has been applied by other methods. (Source: Landsforsøgene 2012, DK)
