Väderstad adds the new Spirit 600C InLine to its wide seed drill segment from October 2021. The InLine-version of Spirit places a low fertiliser rate together with the seed in the seed furrow, providing the plant quick nutrient uptake.
The InLine system allows the fertilizer to be placed in the same row as the seed. This gives the seed a quick boost directly after drilling, shortening the time of emergence. The InLine system is highly beneficial when working with moderate levels of fertilizers, says Magnus Samuelsson, Concept Developer, at Väderstad.
Spirit 600C InLine allows for a high capacity, high precision solution.
Spirit 600C InLine is equipped with a separated airflow where the fertilizer is distributed apart from the seed. This prevents the sorting of inputs in the system and is of most importance when the sizes and weights of the kernels are different. The intensity of the airflow is easily adjusted, ensuring that both the seeds and fertilizer are placed with optimal precision, says Magnus Samuelsson,
The fertilizer is metered with the Fenix electric metering system, this is the same unit used for the seed metering. It is both highly precise and non-corrosive. Split cells in the rotor and an angled exit from the metering unit efficiently prevents any pulsing, ensuring that all plants will have the exact same access to fertilizer.
