GRAND PRIX: SOIL WATER RETENTION FRIENDLY

This year, a new competition category was premiered under the title Soil Water Retention Friendly, in which exhibits competing for the Grand Prix could be entered. As the English title suggests, it is an award for the beneficial effects of a machine or technology on soil properties (physical, chemical or biological) leading to an improvement in the soil's water retention function. The jury has decided to award the following products that have met the criteria for this category this year.

Varior 500 – potato hoe machine

Manufacturer: P&L, spol s r.o.
Exhibitor: P&L, spol s r.o.

The design of the machine is meant for an improvement of the retention capacity of the soil by infiltration of water from precipitation or irrigation. At the same time, it creates suitable conditions for an efficient use of nutrients, including surface and subsurface cultivation of stems and furrows. When using this machine, the soil crust on the surfaces of the steins is disturbed and creates or restores the pits and dams in the non-track furrows.


ECO TILLER 600 – strip tillage machine (Strip Till)

Manufacturer: P&L, spol s r.o.
Exhibitor: P&L, spol s r.o.

Strip tillage is primarily intended for soil protection, soil water regime improvement and energy savings. The water regime of the soil is affected by the preferential flow of water into the root zone in the strips of the plants. Soil treatment by this machine shows a demonstrable anti-erosion effect, which reduces surface runoff, especially on sloping land.


Deep ripper HEKTOR 3H

Manufacturer: OPaLL-AGRI, s.r.o.
Exhibitor: OPaLL-AGRI, s.r.o.

By breaking compacted soil layers, the water regime improves. The machine is designed for ripping in the whole workspan. The limitation of the mixing effect of the working implements of the machine predetermines its use for the correction of retention properties of highly compacted soils. The possibility of replacing the rear compaction roller makes it possible to use the machine both on arable land and on permanent grassland.
