Key properties

A versatile seeder for easy mounting on tillage implements and air drills.

A HIGHLY VERSATILE USE

Cover crops, small-seed crops and fertiliser.

ALFA DRILL + air drill
ALFA DRILL + straw harrow
ALFA DRILL + high speed disc

The seeder combined with an air drill offers the option of seeding another type of crop. For example, when combined with the OMEGA OO_FL air drill, it is possible to establish up to three types of seeds. It can also be used for micro-granulates application.

In combination with STRIEGEL-PRO, the ALFA DRILL seeder can be used for establishing cover crops after harvest, or for micro-granulates application.

The combination of the seeder with a high speed disc offers a high versatility. In one pass, you can do good-quality tillage and establish cover crops or a greening in the shallow tillage.

EASY CONTROL

Control options

WHAT DO THE FARMERS HAVE TO SAY?

“I purchased the ALFA DRILL 11 unit together with the SWIFTERDISC XO 16′ F speed disc. After the first experience, I have to say it was a good choice. The savings in the costs of another pass that would have to be done with an air drill or a spreader are quite substantial.”

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

COVER CROP ESTABLISHMENT
Cover crop is grown to improve soil conditions; it aerates soil and creates organic matter that continuously subsides. Each type of cover crop (tare grass, phacelia, buckwheat, scarlet clover, Indian millet, mustard) has a different task because the roots of each cover crop reach a different depth. The roots transfer phosphorus and other elements from lower soil layers to the top. After incorporation, the elements are available for the next crop. In summer, the cover crop creates a shadow, eliminates the evaporation of moisture from soil, and reduces the risk of erosion.
