Glyphosate waiver! New action strategies in weed control

Due to the avoidance of glyphosate for area preparation, mechanical weed control is becoming increasingly important for us. To make this possible, many crops are sown in rows. But row sowing is often difficult, especially with very fine, almost dust-like, or particularly light seeds. For this reason, these seeds are specially prepared.

We have two options available to us:

Encrusting weighs down light seeds - the flowability in the seed drill is significantly better.
By pilling the seeds, the volume is greatly increased and sowing is made easier.

Another positive effect of this modification is the water absorption of the casing, which is why the seedling has a better water supply in dry periods!
