Seeding & Planting

What it is and why to use it

Planting is the most delicate agronomic operation: its execution significantly affects the germination and subsequent growth of the plant. The goal is to create a deposition furrow for the seed at a constant depth which must subsequently be closed with ease and precision to ensure that the single seed has the greatest contact surface with the ground. The new climatic scenarios are considerably reducing the time windows for field operations, therefore it is essential to increase the working speed without compromising the plantig quality, both in relation to the depth and the homogeneity of distribution along the rows.
