For the Best Start of the Crop

With the introduction of the iXtra LiFe front tank Kverneland can offer a high performance ISOBUS combination of a front tank for liquid fertiliser and a precision seeder. This combination ensures maximum profitability because seeds are sown at the right place and the correct amount of liquid fertiliser is applied at the same time.

For the Best Start of the Crop

“The iXtra LiFe front tank works in combination with a precision seeder to apply the liquid fertiliser during seeding to ensure maximum productivity”, explains Jeroen van Turenhout, Senior Product Manager. “The smart electronics on both the seeder and the front tank communicate with each other, so the application starts and stops together with each individual seed row. With stricter fertilisation legislation in place, efficient nutrient application is essential for reducing the total amount of fertiliser every year. Row fertilisation is a way to increase efficiency and save money due to better placement of the fertiliser near the seeds. It also creates room for the use of organic fertiliser. At the same time a quick start of the crop and earlier soil coverage reduces weed development”.

A High Performance Combination

The iXtra LiFe front tank can be used in combination with an ISOBUS compatible Kverneland precision seeder, for example in crops like sugar beet, maize or sunflowers. The electric driven seeding elements in combination with GPS and IsoMatch GEOCONTROL automatically switch on or off in exactly the right place, ensuring that there is no overlap in the headland or in any row that has already been seeded. This is especially convenient in the case of triangular shaped fields and curved or irregular shaped headlands. In tramlines the de-activation of fertiliser in the stopped seed rows flows automatically.

IsoMatch GEOCONTROL for Ultimate Precision

The IsoMatch GEOCONTROL application ensures no overlap of seed or fertiliser in a row. This means easy management of the machines, due to not having to manually switch on or off sections or change the application rate. More efficient work and avoiding overlap leads to cost savings in seeds and fertiliser, as well as increased crop quality.
