Reconsolidation in strips
Water is always available where it is needed
Whether using the Cataya Special or Super, the strip-wise reconsolidation with wedge ring roller and following harrow ensures reliable plant emergence under all conditions.
Reconsolidation in strips in the actual seeding zone allows the seed to be connected to the ground water in deeper layers without bringing the full capillary effect up to the soil surface. On the one hand, the seedling gets water, yet, on the other hand, the water does not rise so high that it evaporates on the surface. The soil does not dry out unnecessarily. This ensures good germination, even under dry conditions.
In wet conditions, on the other hand, the unconsolidated strips between the seed rows leave room for the water to infiltrate deeper. This enables an adequate gas exchange – it is important that oxygen can reach the young roots, even if they root deep down. The best conditions for good germination and successful juvenile development of the crops.
