In future, it will be necessary to deploy resources worldwide even more purpose-specifically and efficiently. That is why PÖTTINGER has teamed up the trailed TERRIA stubble cultivator with the AMICO front hopper for resource-saving work. The tillage and simultaneous seed or fertiliser application steps can now be completed in a single pass.
The TERRIA with distribution system can be used for both stubble cultivation as well as deep loosening work. Different deposit depths for the fertiliser allow different levels of soil to be supplied as needed. A total of three deposit depths can be set:
Top placement - 100 % deposited on top
Mixed placement - 50 % on top, 50% below
Down placement - 100 % deposited below
The TERRIA with distribution system can be equipped with three different types of chisel points and wings depending on the stubble cultivation application. Examples for each of the three applications:
Wing share with shin for top placement
Point with shin for mixed placement
Narrow point 40 mm for down placement
The outlet on the fertiliser boot is set to 100 % on top so that the seed is mixed directly into the upper layer of soil approx. 0 to 5 cm deep. The application point is right behind the tine leg. For fertilisation, this can be used in the spring when preparing the seedbed so that emission losses are avoided because the fertiliser is immediately covered.
With 50% applied on top and 50 % at the bottom, placement is both near the surface and at the tip of the chisel point. The fertiliser is distributed over the entire working depth, so this is ideally suited for phosphate compensation fertilisation. This method is also suitable for primary tillage in autumn with working depths from 15 cm.
The outlet on the fertiliser boot is set to 100% at the bottom of the coulter. This means that fertiliser can be placed further down at up to 35 cm deep. The soil is deeply loosened and fertiliser deposited at the same time. Preferably, stabilising nitrogen fertilisers should be used and emission losses are avoided.
