In order to keep the energy content of the crop as high as possible, fast and gentle drying is required.
When mowing with a conditioner, you save one thing above all else: time. The tines or rollers integrated into the mower fold or crimp the crop and place a wide and loose forage carpet, the best prerequisites for a fast drying process.
Using a conditioner facilitates the release of cell juice in the clamp. This results in faster pH value reduction. What this means is that the silage reaches a stable state more quickly.
"On high yield forage areas, especially whole crop forage farms, the use of a mower conditioner is definitely recommended because it shortens drying times and improves ensiling properties."
