|Drum choppers in action|
Ground after the preparation
- facilitate the planting
With a minimum of 35 years growth cycles, the combined action of wind, rain, frost, sun... generates a soil compaction and makes it very difficult to put a plant into the ground without a ground work.
Planting with our planting machine JLM200
Soil tillage with tools such as drum choppers, disc harrows, combined tools, forestry ploughs ... eliminates competing vegetation, improves the survival rate and facilitates the access to nitrogen and minerals and therefore ameliorates the plants growth rate.
|Full tillage with fertiliser input|
Soil tillage allows an harmonious development of the root system, in particular when the furrow's hold (after a tillage in strips) is suppressed.
