Simultaneous hoeing and spraying
Application via the RowSpray band spraying system with FT-P 1502 front tank
Everything from a single source – with band spraying integrated in the hoe, the use of plant protection agents can be reduced by up to 85 % compared to conventional full-width spraying, depending on the row width. This not only reduces costs and protects the environment, but can also significantly reduce the risk of weed resistance. However, RowSpray is not only used for weed control but also for precise fertilisation with liquid fertiliser directly on the crop row – and part-width section control is included.
The spray agent or foliar fertiliser is carried in the FT-P 1502 front tank from AMAZONE. It is applied in the form of a precise band application over the individual crop rows in front of the hoeing tools. On the other hand, the hoe blade mechanically hoes out the weeds between the rows without the use of chemicals and breaks the capillarity at the same time. The integration of the systems reduces labour and input costs and protects the environment.
Advantages:
- Band spraying directly over the crop row
- Hoeing reduces the use of plant protection agents by up to 85 %
- Band sprayer nozzle holder on the parallelogram for precise height guidance of the nozzles above the soil
- Triple nozzle holder
- Part-width section control via part-width valve chest
- Central coupling point for the spray agent connection on the shift frame
