GEOSEED ® - EFFICIENT HARVESTING
WITH LESS SOIL ATTACHMENT Experiences from practising experts have shown that the right positioning of the beet in diamond pattern makes harvesting smoother with higher harvesting performance results. In particular the uniform loading of the harvester and the lower soil attachment allows higher speed driving. 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 beet 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 transportability and enables the use of sugar beet in biogas plants or in cattle feed.
