Matrix tyres – strip-wise reconsolidation for optimum growth conditions

Optimum and uniform growth conditions for all plants are the basis for a quicker and more even field emergence. 

These are obtained by means of a fine crumbed seedbed reconsolidated in strips. Apart from the use of the various pre-working tools, the Matrix tyre is of great importance in this respect. On the one hand, it produces even more fine soil to cover the seed, but, most importantly, its special shape provides the desired reconsolidation in strips.

Advantages of a seedbed reconsolidated in strips 

• Uniform growth conditions for all plants 
• The seed has access to the capillary soil water  
• Prevention of constantly wet conditions after heavy rainfall 
• Guaranteed gaseous exchange

All the above advantages of reconsolidation in strips provide an even, high field emergence!

Reconsolidation in strips 

• Matrix tyres create a well reconsolidated strip in comparison to tyres with an AS profile. This is a key advantage, which has a very positive effect on the smooth running of the sowing coulters.
