PUDAMA - TARGETED FERTILISER APPLICATION

100 % YIELD WITH 25 % LESS STARTER FERTILISER

PUDAMA ensures systematic, precise placement of starter fertiliser. This targeted application delivers nutrients exactly where they are needed for optimal growth.

PUDAMA offers targeted, discontinuous fertiliser placement directly around maize seeds, leading to better nutrient absorption by plant roots compared to conventional row fertiliser spreaders. This approach reduces fertiliser use between rows, cutting nitrate and phosphate runoff into water systems. Research from the University of Applied Sciences Cologne shows that PUDAMA can save at least 25% of starter fertiliser while maintaining yield potential. By using resources efficiently, PUDAMA supports sustainable crop production and protects soil, water, and air quality The fertiliser is collected at the fertiliser coulter in a defined quantity and shot by an airstream into the soil as a deposit. A sensor link between the fertiliser coulter and seeding unit ensures synchronised seed and fertiliser placement. The Optima SX PUDAMA achieves speeds up to 15 kph, placing up to 25 fertiliser spots per second.

The PUDAMA system can be integrated into the Optima TFprofi and Optima F models with SX high- speed rows.
