What is the best soil?

At PÖTTINGER, the best soil covers every aspect, from tillage and seedbed preparation to crop emergence and the best working results. It is a lot more than first meets the eye. Because the best soil literally does not exist, we need to make the best of what we have. To do this, we need to know, understand and appreciate our soil.

What do we need the best floor for?

This is defined by each farm's objectives and is as varied as agriculture in general. PÖTTINGER supports you with an extensive product range to achieve the best results with your soil.

In addition to the objectives of each farm, there are also global objectives that need to be taken into consideration.

In 2015, the United Nations ratified the Agenda for Sustainable Development. It contains 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which, in addition to ending poverty and creating equal opportunities, also define the goal of ending hunger, as well as measures for climate protection, sustainable production and the preservation of biodiversity.

Agriculture can contribute in all of these areas by conserving resources in the production of high-quality food and animal feed while using sustainable raw materials. To achieve this and secure yields over the long term, it is important to maintain and improve soil fertility. Increasingly extreme and more frequent weather events are a particular challenge for agricultural crop production. That is why the stability of crop yields based on functional and fertile soil is becoming increasingly important. This means that good returns can be generated even in comparatively poor years, and total crop failure can be avoided.

In addition to stable yields that maintain farmers' revenues, the focus is also on the sustainable use of available resources. Careful usage of resources and process steps that are matched to the crop, the companion flora and the on-site soil conditions bring benefits in terms of cost effectiveness, and they have a positive impact on the environment.
