Planting is an essential phase of crop production. It is also a phase that constitutes a major portion of the annual cost for farmers.

Traditionally planting seeds and spreading fertilizer are phases that are done separately. The farmer has to enter the field on separate occasions: lay down the fertilizer and with another machine to sow the seeds. This takes both time and resources. It also adds to the annual cost as it takes twice as much fuel for the farmer to get the sowing done.

Combi seed drill offers a competent alternative. By using combi seed drill that unites the fertilization and planting processes farmers save time, reduce fuel consumption and increase planting efficiency.
 

How does a combi seed drill work?

Combi seed drills have a number of features and settings you can adjust. For example the seeding depth, row spacing, and seed rate are all adjustable and provide flexibility for planting various crops. In addition, certain models come with seed and fertilizer precision placement technology, further enhancing their capabilities. 

The more traditional way of spreading the fertilizer separately and planting the seed with another machine often leads to fertilizer deficit as it spreads unevenly to the field. In Junkkari combi seed drill models we have combined the fertilizer and seed placement to provide precision. The coulter places the seed and fertilizer close to each other enhancing the effectiveness of the fertilizer.

This technology improves the cultivation process by improving planting efficiency and essentially leads to improved crop yields and lower annual cost for the farmers.
