Venterra 1K inter-row hoe

RowSpread distributor head application system with FTender for fertiliser or seed

Multiple work steps in just one pass
The Venterra can be equipped with the RowSpread distributor head from AMAZONE for applying fertiliser or undersowing crops during weed control. Everything from a single source – bringing pioneering arable farming concepts to the field!

Tailored fertilisation with a reduced number of passes
Row crops such as maize or beet benefit from tailored fertilisation after the seedling has developed. Yields can be increased by minimising weed pressure through hoeing on the one hand and providing additional nutrients through fertiliser or micro-granules on the other.

RowSpread distribution head with FTender 
On the one hand, the system enables effective and efficient fertilisation of crops or the application of seed, e.g. an undersown crop, together with simultaneous mechanical weed control.

Advantages: 

• High output due to the large hopper capacities of either 1,600 l or 2,200 l 
• The twin-chamber hopper enables seed and fertiliser to be combined 
• Individual distribution: to the plant row, between the plant rows or with full area coverage via baffle plates 
• Tool combinations in the hoe enable the incorporation of the fertiliser or seed 
• More comfort thanks to full ISOBUS implementation in the machine operation 
• Large opening enables quick and easy filling 
• Comfortable and fast coupling possible 
• Easy calibration is possible via the calibration button or TwinTerminal

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

The versatile partner in modern crop production!

The FT-P 1502 front tank with a capacity of 1,500 litres is the ideal partner for any applications with liquid products. Applications for the standalone front tank: 

• Band spraying in conjunction with the Venterra hoe 
• Liquid fertilisation during sowing with the Precea precision air seeder or the Primera DMC direct seed drill 
• Application of bio-stimulants during sowing 
• Other individual applications

Precise application
The liquid product is pumped through hoses to the shares on the Venterra. The hoses are carefully routed and protected from stone impacts and damage by protective coverings. The spray agent is sprayed precisely onto the row of crops via a nozzle. A band sprayer nozzle holder on the parallelogram ensures precise height guidance of the nozzles above the soil.

The operator station of the FT-P 1502 front tank is positioned on the left-hand side and so is easily accessible. The operator station can be equipped with the Comfort-Pack as an option. This includes the TwinTerminal 3.0 for operating the suction side, automatic fill stop for suction filling, fill level dependent, auto-dynamic agitation regulation and remotely controlled, automatic cleaning programmes for quick and thorough cleaning. 
The FT-P 1502 front tank is equipped with a 180 l fresh water tank that enables efficient cleaning. 

For autonomous operation, the FT-P 1502 front tank is provided with a hydraulically driven 180 l/min piston diaphragm pump and can also be equipped with
part-width section control. The oil requirement for operating the pump is 35 l/min.
