Deploying the row crop cultivator in cereals is heavily dependent on the row width selected during sowing and the height of the crop
In organically managed farms with a row spacing of 25 cm it is still possible to use the row crop cultivator until the beginning of ear emergence (EC 51)
The plant is still relatively flexible due to the absence of growth regulators
The width of the duck foot share is chosen according to the root system of the crop
The more developed the root system, the further away from the plant
