Example calculation for various part-width sections
Annual average overlaps of conventional part-width sections vs 50 cm part-width sections in combination with Section Control
Important knowledge for field analysis
- Average overlap with 50 cm part-width sections only 1.92%
- Average overlap with 9 part-width sections 7%
- Short payback period for larger farms due to the annual potential savings
- Due to smaller field sizes, smaller farms save proportionally more
- When growing crops with a high crop protection demand, e.g. potatoes, sugar beet, 50 cm part-width sections are particularly cost-effective
