PERFECT SEED PLACEMENT
MULCH AND CONVENTIONAL SOWING
The Unicorn sowing row can be used for conventional (ploughed land) and conservational conditions without any modifications. The aim of conservation sowing methods is to conserve the soil in times of sparse vegetation and during the early stages of beet plant life. The way in which the Unicorn works, not only conserves the soil but also causes only slight soil movement, in order to avoid germination of weed seeds. Double cutting discs (notched optional) in "V" formation with side-mounted wheels, in front of the actual drill, cut cleanly through organic crop residue. The following coulter opens a precise furrow, into which seeds can be placed exactly. The side-mounted wheels ensure constant depth guidance. With the standard seed coulter a low dropping height of only 3cm is possible which ensures excellent, precise seed placement. Finally two coverers provide ideal seed coverage with soil and close the furrow. A pressure roller provides the necessary reconsolidation for good seed-to-soil contact.
The ideal sowing as a basis for stable yields.
