The best soil – for perfect plant growth What significance does the soil have? The soil is the basis for agriculture and forestry and is one of the world's most important yet limited resources. As the essence of our life, soil provides the basis for high-quality nutrition for us and our livestock. Healthy soil is indispensable for healthy plant growth and preserving soil life in the long term with the following aims: Optimising your yield and its quality. The foundation of your success Drilling for planting literally sows the seeds of plant growth in the ensuing months and, at the end of...

VITASEM Well prepared A perfectly prepared seedbed features a uniform, level finish, an ideal proportion of fine soil and optimum consolidation. This, plus sufficient covering of the seed, creates perfect germination conditions for rapid and uniform plant growth. However, the seedbed should only be as finely crumbled as necessary. If the proportion of fine soil is too high there is a greater risk of erosion caused by wind or water as well as of surface mud formation. A coarser seedbed, on the other hand, offers a more suitable habitat for pests such as snails. With its high-performance and...

Short summary To guarantee our farmers straightforward, precise sowing, the VITASEM machines have been given a makeover and optimised. The tried-and-tested technology is now combined with even easier operation. This is the signature feature of our mechanical seed drills. In keeping with the slogan “Mechanical, practical, great”, our machines are ready to handle all sizes of farm and their specific on-site conditions. This is reflected in the possible working widths of 2.5 to 4.0 metres and also in the various machines they can be mounted on for seedbed preparation. The proven, versatile...

Multi-metering system Grain by grain: The unique seed metering system is the trademark of VITASEM seed drills. To cover a wide range of applications, two completely independent metering units are combined in one system. Both metering wheels are mounted on the same metering shaft. ■ Two individual metering wheels in each housing mean you can switch between normal seed and small seed metering within minutes. ■ The primary objectives of this technology are the exact setting of the required seed rates and optimised plant distribution density, both of which this proven system is able to support.

Best seed placement guaranteed The potential yield at harvest depends on precision seed placement. The seed should be placed in a damp slot and covered with fine soil - regardless of whether the soil in which it is placed is light, heavy, dry or damp. Uniform seed placement is of paramount importance for optimum crop management and ultimately a high-yield harvest. Homogeneous germination can result in uniform crop growth, enabling precise and effective application of pesticides. Crop that ripens evenly also contributes to improved harvesting performance. Thanks to the different coulter...

Suffolk coulters Suffolk coulters are suitable for conditions where there is little organic matter on the surface, on ploughed soil for example. A tidy seed slot is shaped by a cast coulter tip with a coulter pressure of up to 25 kg. The seed is placed immediately after the seed slot has been formed. High ground clearance is provided by the generous coulter offset of 30 cm on the coulter rails. Depending on the model and working width, row spacing of between 12 and 13 cm is available. The narrow row spacing ensures ideal plant distribution density and rapid canopy closure. This minimises...

Versatile drilling Proven and precise seed metering with the multi-metering system is the signature feature of VITASEM seed drills. Two completely independent metering units are combined in the one seed housing. All the metering wheels are located on the same metering shaft. Using the 2-slide solution, the individual metering slides can be pushed in or pulled out to quickly switch from fine to normal seed, for example from oil seed rape to cereals. This saves time and increases the flexibility of your machine. As an option, reverse metering for poppy seed or oil seed rape, for example, is...

Flexible hopper TEGOSEM Reliable surface application During sowing, the optional flexible TEGOSEM hopper combines application of a companion crop or microgranulates in a single pass to save time and costs. The material to be applied is distributed evenly with the TEGOSEM. Companion crops are beneficial in areas at risk of erosion. Microgranulates can speed up seed germination. The metering unit is driven electrically. Two different sizes of metering shaft ensure precision distribution of the material (fine or coarse metering), even at low application rates. The separate fan drive system is...

Seed grain size varies enormously. For this reason, a sophisticated metering system is necessary. The combination of the offset 3-row cam seed wheel and the 1-row fine seed wheel enables precise placement of grains of every size. The metering wheels are separated by a partition. A choice of reducer inserts are provided to increase seeding variability. This well-thought-out system makes it possible to reduce the amount of seed needed. At the same time, sowing accuracy is increased by precise distribution of the seed. All possible configurations can be changed in minutes without the need for...
