The GIGANTE planter is designed for direct sowing ofcereals, rape and other crops with simultaneous application of mineral fertilizers. The seeder is suitable for any type of soil: from hard to minimally cultivated soils with different structures.(//tractor-service.com)
Sowing with a seeder in loose soil is among the methods with low impact on the environment and careful attitude to soil fertility. Soil preparation for sowing in the presence of surface plant residues is included in the category of "soil conservation" methods. This method prevents any form of soil loss due to erosion, reduces excessive soil compaction, and helps increase moisture accumulation.
The use of a single-disc coulter reduces moisture evaporation (there is no mixing of moist lower soil layers with dry upper layers), promotes self-regulation of soil temperature, and improves the activity of both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. This method is gaining more and more popularity in connection with the increase in temperature regimes and the decrease in the amount of moisture during the period of sowing and growing crops. The seeding element not only cuts residues (pressure on the coulter is about 300 kg), but also contributes to uniform penetration into any soil profile to a given depth.
