Efficient combined drilling (with fertilizer metering)
Rapid is available with and without fertilizer metering. Nutrient placement during drilling provide a fast and reliable fertilization effect. Since the fertilizer is placed in moist soil there is less dependence on rain, while placement also gives high yields and better nutrient use efficiency. This reduces input costs, while maintaining yield.
Fertilizer at the right spot
The fertilizer is placed betweeen every second seed row at a row spacing of 250mm. This means that the fertilizer ends up 6.25cm from each row of seed. This results in the fertilizer being easily accessible to the seed, giving the crop a heads start over any competing weed.
Studies show yield increases if fertilizer is placed deeper and to the side of the seed (spring drilling). Index 100 = broadcasting.
Efficiency in all conditions
The fertilizer is placed with the same disc coulter types as the seeds. By cutting a clean slot, the fertilizer is separated from any crop residues. This makes the nitrogen fully available for the plant, lowering the risk of being used for straw decomposition.
High capacity fertilizer output
The fertilizer is metered out hydraulically with a very high capacity. This means that the fertilizer metering will never limit the working speed.
