Sowing methods R SYSTEMTINE FOR CONVENTIONAL SOWING
The seeding coulter is one of the most traditional systems used in cereal seed drills. It is designed for conventional sowing, where the land has been previously prepared and presents a uniform surface free of large plant debris.
It operates by means of a metal tine that penetrates the soil to form the seed furrow. As it moves forward, the tine displaces the soil laterally, creating a channel into which the seed is deposited via the drop tube.
Subsequently, the flow of soil itself covers the seed, ensuring its protection and promoting good contact with the soil.
The design of the tine provides good penetration and stability, even in relatively firm soils. Its simple and robust construction makes it a reliable system, with few parts subject to wear and low maintenance requirements.
This facilitates its use in intensive sowing campaigns, where durability and reliability are key factors.
From an agronomic perspective, the tines perform particularly well in soils with adequate preparation and uniform texture. Under these conditions, they allow a clean furrow to be formed and ensure even crop establishment.
