GEOSEED ® - EFFICIENT HARVESTING

WITH LESS SOIL ATTACHMENT Experiences from practising experts have shown that the right positioning of the beets in diamond pattern makes harvesting smoother with higher harvesting perfor- mance results. In particular the uniform loading of the harvester and the lower soil attachment allows to drive at higher speeds. In 2016 the consultancy initiative "Mont Blanc" found out in an experiment that the sugar beet yield in cultivation with GEOSEED ® in diamond pattern is about 1t/ha higher than in comparison to classical precision sowing. In addition, the beets in diamond pattern can be harvested with less soil attachment. This is not only an advantage when determining the effective yield or sugar profit, but also increases the harvesting efficiency and transporta- bility, and enables the use of sugar beet in biogas plants or in cattle feed.
