Greening in Holland





The new rules in modern Dutch agriculture were extended by increasing the intensity of green manure use as part of a new farming system. Ideally, the low-cost solution for meeting the requirements of government is seeding “green” seeds during the first stubble cultivation after harvesting. A Disc cultivator the SwifterDisc XN equipped with a sowing unit the Alfa Drill machine are suitable machines for this field operation.

The right tool for greening


The SwifterDisc with unique A-discs perfectly cut and mix the crop residues into the soil, the soil is thus ideally prepared for the germination of the new crop. Seeds of green manure are spread by distribution terminals in front of the rear packer.The Packer presses the seed into the soil, the seed begins to germinate immediately, and within a short time creates a massive green covering. This Green covering is then incorporated into the soil profile and thus increases the content of nitrogen in the soil.
