Like all crops, growers work hard to reach the highest potential yield on everything they grow. In feed crops, this is just as important. Oats grow similarly to cereals crops and are drilled plus harvested at the same time of year as these too. The most rapid growth stage for oats is in the Spring, where we see brighter days and an increase in temperature.
Crops grow
Soil nutrition is especially important in areas of which oats are grown, this is because the crop is highly susceptible to grain abortion caused by drought. To achieve high yields on oats, the plant must get sufficient amounts of water to enable optimal growth and development. The root system of oats is large and will explore the soil hugely during its growth stages, giving a high soil nutrient use efficiency.
In combination with good soil nutrition, it is important that the plant receives the desired rate of chemicals and feed to ensure an increase in yield. To aid in achieving this, Agrifac develops technologies to enable the grower to target the crop by applying each droplet exactly in the right spot.
Enhance your Condor with these innovative spraying technologies
Best coverage and up to 95% drift reduction with HighTechAirPlus (HTA)
Changing (weather) conditions, the right amount of chemicals, a smaller window of opportunity: A challenge you can tackle with the HighTechAirPlus system. HighTechAirPlus is a combination of traditional spraying, air assistance and mixing in the nozzle holders. The perfect combination to create a constant and easily set droplet size that can be adjusted to changing conditions from the cab.
Air assistance to get the chemicals to the right spot, AirFlowPlus
Agrifac is introducing the air assistance system, AirFlowPlus. The distinguishing feature of this system is the installation of fans every three metres. This creates an unprecedented air capacity and uniform distribution of the air across the total width of the spray boom, irrespective of the working widths and the number of boom sections you are working with!
Agrifac has developed a special spraying system so you can spray vertical crops such as asparagus vertically.
The VertiPlus system is attached to the Condor’s standard J-boom.
Always quality spraying and the right balance, StrictHeightPlus
With StrictHeightPlus, BalancePlus and variable geometry work together to ensure the boom hangs freely in all conditions. The boom moves freely and the movements of the machine are not transferred to the boom. Four sensors with a wide viewing angle that are placed on the boom send the machines a reliable and precise measurement of the crop.
Every Drop Hits the Right Spot, with StrictSprayPlus
StrictSprayPlus gives you the certainty that the desired amount of liquid is sprayed in the right place. Boom sections consist of just one nozzle, there is 100% turn compensation and a constant spray pressure irrespective of speed
For a precise distribution off liquid fertilisers, LiquidPlus
LiquidPlus enables you to work with liquid (synthetic) fertilisers. This allows for more precise dosing and distribution. The very precise distribution reduces costs and increases efficiency.
