Agrisem BOSS No-till seeder

Drawing on extensive experience in conservation agriculture and consulting with farmers practicing minimum and no-till cultivation, the French company Agrisem has identified several common challenges. These include: difficulty penetrating the soil; difficulty closing the furrow in wet conditions; presence of crop residues in the furrow; clogging when working in heavy crop residues and straw; significant soil disturbance; and poor depth control.

To offer the best solution to its customers, Agrisem developed the Boss no-till seeder. The technology for this seeder is borrowed from the pioneering country in no-till cultivation – Australia, but adapted to European requirements and needs.

Thus, the Boss, with its key advantage – the double-angle disc, becomes the ideal solution for perfect no-till seeding.

The Boss no-till seeder stands out with its double-angle disc, which leads to:

• Preventing excessive soil compaction next to the furrow
• Better furrow closure, as the soil lifted by the discs returns more easily to close the furrow
• No excessive soil compaction behind the discs, due to the specific shape of the gauge wheel at the rear of the discs
• Ideal adjustment of furrow closure in all conditions, thanks to the ability to change the angle of the press wheel

The seeding boot is concealed within the cutting disc and has no contact with the soil, which prevents clogging. This allows for excellent results in wet, even muddy conditions. The boot is positioned so that it never touches the soil, making the front part of the disc the only point of contact with the soil. Logically, the fewer parts that come into contact with soil/mud, the less likely clogging and operational delays become. Mud is cleaned by an active scraper /side wheel/. The Boss seeder concept allows for seeding in the same direction as the previous corn crop's row.

The seeding boot is mounted on a parallelogram. Downforce is provided by hydropneumatics. Connected to a sensor on the gauge wheel, the hydraulic downforce allows for maximum control of pressure and depth.

Row cleaners significantly improve the seeder's performance, even in the presence of a large amount of crop residue. Row cleaners are available as an option for Boss seeders.
