The service team advises: How to ensure a good line closure

Tsvetan Iliyanov is a service specialist at NIK, who has over 5 years of experience in the field of precision agriculture and knows what is needed for successful sowing. He has worked with many farmers and has collected a lot of feedback and useful tips on improving the quality of sowing. In this article we will look at some of the most important recommendations of Tsvetan Iliyanov for successful sowing, which he gives based on his experience as a service specialist in North-West Bulgaria.

“The FurrowForce two-stage system is an innovative row closure technology that offers several advantages, giving farmers an advantage in sowing regardless of field conditions!” — shares Tsvetan Iliyanov.

Here's who they are:

Improves the quality of sowing

The FurrowForce system ensures accurate row closure after seed placement. This closure eliminates the air pocket and helps in better development of the plant root system, which increases the quality of sowing by helping the seeds to germinate at the same time — this is important for the plants to develop socially and have equal access to nutrients and sunlight.

Provides good soil contact with the seed

Good contact of the seed with the soil when sowing is very important for the successful emergence and growth of plants. Here are some of the advantages of good contact of the seed with the soil:

Improves the absorption of water and nutrients:

Good contact of the seed with the soil ensures more efficient absorption of water and nutrients by the plants. This can contribute to better development of the root system of plants and improve the quality and quantity of the crop.

Reduces water and nutrient losses:

Good contact of the seed with the soil helps to reduce the loss of water and nutrients. This can reduce the need for additional spraying and plant nutrition and help save time and resources.

Improves plant resistance:

Good seed to soil contact can help improve plant resistance to diseases and pests. This can contribute to better productivity and less crop losses.

Reduces the likelihood of drought:

Good seed contact with soil can reduce the likelihood of seed drying out. This can help to better seed germination and ensure a higher percentage of a successful crop.

In conclusion, Tsvetan Ilianov is convinced that proper soil preparation, the choice of a quality planter and a good row closure system can provide farmers with excellent results in sowing, even in wetter conditions.
