Cost-effective, extremely versatile and convenient – this is the PÖTTINGER WAVE DISC cultivation system for seedbed preparation.
In dry regions or in wet areas – all the WAVE DISC system's advantages come into play to make it the perfect example for reduced soil cultivation while increasing yield. Completely in-line with LOW DISTURBANCE tillage - vertical soil cultivation.
The WAVE DISC cultivates the soil in water-saving strips: only the region either side of the seed slot approx. 45 mm wide is worked. The rest of the surface remains untouched.
The residual moisture in the strips in between helps the seed to germinate.
The track eradicator discs behind the tractor wheels can be set precisely to the seed depth and the depth of the tractor wheel marks.
Hole matrix with 5 positions
Adjusted without the need for tools
Disc mounting easy to handle during adjustment
Four discs per track
Low draft thanks to reduced tillage intensity
Less traction required - less soil moved
Reduction in erosion - conserves soil structure
Earlier sowing time in spring
Water saving system
Low disturbance tillage leaves behind a lower proportion of loosened soil and a smaller cultivated area.
Less risk of ponding during heavy rain
Reduced sifting of fine soils in strong winds
The maintenance-free WAVE DISCs have a diameter of 510 mm and are available with row spacings of 12.5 cm or 16.7 cm. A row spacing of 16.7 cm is recommended for regions with extremely heavy, wet and sticky soil conditions. The working depth is infinitely-variable controlled by a hydraulic system on the WAVE DISC system.
The minimised soil movement creates poor germination conditions, especially for light-dependent germinating weeds such as black grass and brome grass.
The WAVE DISC low disturbance effect is particularly effective in minimising germination of weed seeds
