INNOVATION CHAMPION 2024
Innovations in agriculture, driven by AMAZONE
Only when an innovation proves itself in practice is it genuine and leads to improvements in day-to-day work.
As an innovative manufacturer of agricultural machinery, AMAZONE has been working hard for more than 140 years on real innovations and practical solutions that make your work as a farmer and contractor easier, reduce costs and protect the environment.
Our agricultural machinery drives innovation in agriculture to ensure food security for the world.
Driven by EFFICIENCY
The innovative TS spreading unit in the ZA-TS and ZG-TS ertiliser spreaders, in conjunction with the AMAZONE WindControl system (according to Prof. Dr Karl Wild of HTW Dresden), generates the perfect spread pattern even in windy conditions. The efficient use of inputs quickly pays for itself - through greater efficiency, better yields and an even more environmentally-friendly approach.
Advantages of Wind Control
- Higher output through longer windows of use
- Increased yield through optimised lateral distribution
- Operational safety via the automatic warning system
WindControl in practic
Results based on long-term trials:
- WindControl improves lateral distribution by 5.6 %
- This means an additional yield of 24 €/ha
Driven by PRECISION
The conservation and protection of natural resources must be carefully balanced with food production needs. Our innovative crop protection sprayers, such as the UX Super or Pantera, make both realistic by using precision agriculture: With AmaSelect spot, plant protection agents are only applied to weeds where they are really needed.
This increases efficiency, secures yields and protects the environment.
Advantages of AmaSelect spot:
- Reduces the use of plant protection agents by up to 80 %
- Protects the environment
- Minimal residual spray volumes, thanks to exact planning of application rate using the spot application maps
- Prevents resistance, thanks to small-area spot application with 100% concentration of plant protection agent
Driven by INTELLIGENCE
Swing movement of the boom, especially when cornering, can lead to a severe under-application and over-application of crop protection agents. This can result in reduced efficacy, weed resistance or damage to the crop.
SwingStop plus individually eliminates horizontal oscillations in the left and right boom halves by means of a sophisticated hydraulic system on the boom suspension.
Our innovative crop protection sprayers, such as the Pantera or UX Super, ensure the precise application of crop protection agents under all conditions – for the best results.
Driven by PERFORMANCE
Our innovative machinery for soil tillage and seedbed preparation offer maximum efficiency via large working widths and sophisticated components.
The Smart Frame System on the Catros, for example, offers convenient adjustment of the working depth by turning the discs into the soil for shallower or deeper action as required. This is done hydraulically without leaving the cab.
The disc bearing with its face seal and oil lubrication is maintenance-free and lasts a lifetime - less downtime, more work!
Advantages of the Smart Frame system
- Fully hydraulic working depth adjustment from the cab
- Convenient for a quick change of the working depth, such as when working deeper in tramlines or on the headland
- The deeper the work, the greater the through-passage in the machine
Driven by FLEXIBILITY
Individual row shut-off for 2 applied materials - seed and fertiliser or 2 different seed types.
Our seed drills stand for precision, flexibility and impact. Innovative solutions from our Cirrus 04 Grand, Each row can be separately switched. Any overlaps are reduced to a minimum with our individual row shut-off system, irrespective of the shape of the field.
This saves seed and fertiliser ensuring uniform plant distribution across the field and vigorous plant development in the overlap zones.
Future-oriented, flexible agricultural practice? This is possible with our Cirrus 04 Grand.
Driven by EFFICIENCY
Our innovative Precea precision air seeder takes under-root fertilisation to a new level of efficiency.
With FertiSpot, the under-root fertiliser is concentrated as a fertiliser deposit under the seed in the plant's future root zone. The plant can take up the nutrients better, even in dry conditions. Fertiliser losses due to leaching of unused fertiliser between the rows are significantly reduced, thereby making more effective use of the fertiliser compared to a conventional band application. A 100% yield is obtained with 25% less fertiliser.
