Multi-chamber seed drills being utilised at the Wambergen trials centre

Maximilian Wilp, head of the AMAZONE trials centre 

"We test innovative establishment systems at our trials centre in Wambergen. For example, we are conducting trials with a focus on pin-point fertilisation, companion planting and seeders with FertiSpot in oil seed rape, a tramline system with EasyTram in oats or maize and looking ways of reducing herbicide use in wheat. We have also tested different seed row widths in wheat, intercropping of cereals and legumes, Controlled Row Farming and much more across the demonstration field trials as well as the replica trials. 

We use the versatile Centaya 3000-C Super with GreenDrill on the trial site. Thanks to the high degree of flexibility offered by three distributor heads and three different placement depths, we are able to gear up our trials to offer much more flexibility. 

The last few years have been very wet, so we have used RoTeC single disc coulters, along with a rotary cultivator and a wedge ring roller giving reconsolidation in strips. This works really well! Thanks to the self-cleaning capability of the RoTeC single disc coulter, we can get out into the fields "earlier" in the year – and sow "later" in the autumn. 

The seed drill’s multi-chamber hopper system enables us to apply different materials at different placement depths, e.g. white clover as a companion crop for winter wheat in our Controlled Row Farming system."

New: multiple metered materials using the Multi-Shoot process 

MultiShoot – the simultaneous application of more than one seed type or fertiliser at either the same entry point or different entry points in the soil – can be a powerful tool for yield-guaranteeing, future-oriented arable farming.

Advantages of Multi-Shoot:  

No de-mixing for ideal plant distribution of the various crops in just one pass. Under-root fertilisation offers high nutrient efficiency, as it is applied directly into the future root zone. 

Single-Shoot: 

2 or 3 metered materials placed at a single depth using, for instance, the Centaya-C Special or Avant 

XXX

Double-Shoot: 

2 or more metered materials placed at 2 depths using, for instance,the Centaya-C Super 

XXX

Triple-Shoot:

3 or more metered materials placed at 3 depths using, for instance, the Centaya-C Super and GreenDrill

Compact disc harrows

Rigid or hydraulically-folding compact disc harrows – either as mounted machines or in the semi-trailed version with TS swivel chassis. These compact disc harrows are ideal for intensively mixing soil tillage and, thanks to their particularly easy pull requirement, high forward speeds with subsequent high work rates are possible - yet at the same time are extremely economical due to the very low fuel consumption.
