MaterMacc
The MaterMacc UST “Under Surface Technology” pneumatic drill planter has been designed to work both in no-till and minimum-till conditions to sow all kinds of winter/spring crops, cereals, grass seeds, cover crops. The machine was designed for multi-species planting. The technology used eliminates contact between seeds and crop residues, which are distributed on the surface. Moreover, seed to soil contact is maximised for optimal root development. No till planter.
BENEFITS INCLUDE:
~ Reduced soil breakdown action which enhances soil structure and increases mineralization of organic matter. This promotes the development of soil micro-organisms and stimulates soil health.
~ Reduction of soil erosion and minimal soil nutrient loss as a result of wind and water erosion.
~ Increased soil moisture retention.
~ Increased availability of soil nutrients at the first stage of development and consequently less nutrient demand during the growing phase.
~ Better water absorption and retention and therefore faster crop growth.
~ Effective weed control thus reducing or eliminating the need for herbicide.
