Precea precision air seeder

Secure your yields with fewer inputs – it's possible with the Precea from AMAZONE. The mounted precision seeders combine singling of the seed, under-root fertilisation application and micro-granule application in a single step. With precise single-seeding at high working speeds and with large working widths, the Precea achieves high efficiency and ensures good early development of the crop as a result of the targeted under-root fertilisation. 

With the Precea, under-root fertilisation can be carried out with pinpoint accuracy by depositing a dose of fertiliser underneath the seed, using the FertiSpot system. Concentrated application directly into the prospective root zone of the plant significantly minimises fertiliser losses due to leaching, breakdown or compaction. This means that 25% less fertiliser can be applied overall, whilst 100% of the yield can still be maintained. 

No matter what crop is being sown, whether maize, sunflowers, oil seed rape, soya beans or many others, the Precea masters precise single-seed sowing in every respect.

Precise singling for optimum seed spacing

1. Precise under-root fertilisation with the FerTeC twin fertiliser coulter with leaf spring overload protection and FertiSpot for fertiliser savings up to 25% with the same yield.
2. PreTeC mulch seeding coulter with SmartForce automatic coulter pressure control and maximum stress relief for the driver thanks to the SmartControl automatic remote stripper finger adjustment.
3. Large fertiliser hopper for high-capacity working, optionally available with a filling auger.
4. Low lifting power requirement for the tractor due to the optimised centre of gravity and lightweight design.
5. Large seed hopper above each sowing unit for optimum seed flow and easy filling by hand.
6. Simple and tool-free exchange of the singling disc, even with a full seed hopper.
 

 

The Precea perfected – save up to 30% on fertiliser and optimise the growing space between plants through the combination of Section Control with single-row shut-off, FertiSpot, CurveControl and SynCrop

With the Precea and the combination of the Section Control, FertiSpot, CurveControl and SynCrop systems, precision farming is coming to the field. The Precea can apply fertiliser and other applied materials to specific areas using the Section Control in accordance with application maps. Different switch points for each applied material mean precision work right up to the last centimetre on the headland. In combination with the single row shut-off on each row, the application of fertiliser and seed on the headland or in wedge-shaped fields is perfected. The applied materials, such as fertiliser, are delivered precisely where they are needed, in the exact quantity required and adjusted to the soil type. 

However, the FertiSpot system further increases the nutrient efficiency level for under-root fertilisation. Applying fertiliser as a concentrated dose along with each seed or as many small doses using MultiSpot instead of a continuous fertiliser band improves the plant's uptake of nutrients:

1. The fixation of nutrients in the soil occurs more slowly due to the concentration below the plant. 
2. The nutrients are only placed in the root zone and not in the space between the plants where the nutrient supply cannot be used. Effective nutrient supply and the enhancement of seedling development through under-root fertilisation can be ensured by combining FertiSpot and Section Control with single row shut-off and can use up to 30% less fertiliser. 

This new level of precision is also achieved when cornering thanks to the CurveControl system, which automatically maintains a constant spacing for the sown material. 

The SynCrop software solution synchronises the placement points for seed and fertiliser across the rows. The application is made either in a triangular pattern or in parallel as a block pattern. The triangular arrangement maximises plant spacing and thus increases the available surface area per plant – for maximising the use of water, nutrients, light and carbon dioxide. In a rectangular formation, maintenance tasks such as hoeing can be carried out with maximum precision.
