For successful drilling

With the TERRASEM FERTILIZER, PÖTTINGER supports the growing trend towards direct fertilisation: In the face of increasing fertiliser prices, new types of fertiliser, new fertiliser regulations and environmental legislation, it pays to employ precision fertiliser management in future.

Pressurised hopper system with partitioned seed hopper

On the FERTILIZER drills, the seed hopper is divided into two parts and designed as a pressurised hopper system. The partitions are fixed at 60:40. It is also possible to fill 100 percent of the hopper with seed.

Simultaneous precision output

The TERRASEM FERTILIZER has separate metering units and distributors for fertiliser and seed. Simultaneous precision application of fertiliser and seed in a single pass. The fertiliser metering system can also be used for another seed material such as a companion crop, for example. The entire operation and monitoring of both systems is integrated into one terminal

• Fertiliser or a second type of seed material is placed in a band between each second row

• Variable placement depth down to 10 cm

• High coulter pressure and reliable penetration of the single-disc coulter.

Additional components in the mixture

The TEGOSEM 500 sowing unit enables additional components to be added to the mixture that is sown using the TERRASEM series. Space-saving, easily accessible using the loading platform, mounted in front of the seed hopper, the pneumatic sowing unit covers a wide range of applications.

• Companion crop (such as grass) sown at the same time as drilled crop

• Fertiliser or micro granules can be applied directly by the metering system as contact fertiliser in single shoot process
