MAXIMIZE PROFIT WITH LOWER COSTS AND HIGHER YIELDS! SOIL TILTH – IDENTIFYING NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SOIL COMPACTION You can depend on Case IH tillage tools to deliver superior performance for maximum yield potential while making the most of every pass. Built with this criteria in mind, the Case IH 2500 Rip-Bed maximizes profit by combining the yield-increasing benefits of Crop Residue Management, Soil Tilth, Plant Food Availability and Seed Bed Conditions, along with the productivity gains of accomplishing all that… in a single-pass operation. Poor root development can be caused by compacted soil with limited or poorly distributed pore space (air and water). Proper pore size and distribution is critical for air and water exchange, which improves potential water infiltration and utilization – essential for healthy plant development. By shattering the compaction layer and reorienting the soil aggregates with its patented tiger ® point technology, the 2500 Rip-Bed creates a healthier soil profile than competitive machines. This improved soil profile allows roots to explore a greater volume of soil and obtain more nutrients, especially during the most critical times of the production cycle. The chart below shows the soil fracture advantage of the 2500 Rip-Bed over a competitive machine. CROP RESIDUE MANAGEMENT Effectively managing post-harvest residue through sizing, placement and incorporation creates an environment that will encourage proper seed placement and improve the performance of the tillage tool. By running coulters inline, ahead of the shank, the Case IH 2500 Rip-Bed sizes and positions residue around the shank, preventing shank wrap and bed blow-out. With the help of the deep tillage shanks and points, it also prevents re-growth by dislocating cotton tap and lateral roots and root crowns. Finally, the double-discs or Lister Points bury the sized residue to aid in residue decomposition and insect control. The 2500 Rip-Bed: Heavy-duty coulters work to manage crop residue. No-till or tiger points improve soil tilth. Double-Disc or Lister Point bed-build’rs produce ideal seed bed conditions. COVER PHOTO: Maximize performance.

SOIL MANAGEMENT FOR HIGHER YIELDS PLANT FOOD AVAILABILITY Choose the type of shank you need – No-till or Minimum Residue Disturbance (MRD) – based on the amount of soil flow and fracture you require. The patented No-till shank and point offer exceptional soil fracture, while maintaining uniform soil flow with minimal bed blow-out. The MRD shank equipped with the patented tiger ® point offers increased fracture and soil movement. Even when using the No-till shank and point, the 2500 Rip-Bed has a 48% advantage in soil fracture over slot-till. See chart at left (pg. 2). Effects of Compacted Soil Soil nutrient availability is foremost a function of good soil tilth. When the root zone has the ideal balance of soil (minerals and organic matter) and pore space (air and water), roots can explore a greater volume of soil and have more access to nutrients. Root Zone Banding of liquid fertilizer places nutrients in the root zone for optimum root contact and uptake with reduced tie-up and less surface runoff. SEED BED CONDITIONS These tap-roots ran horizontally, blocked by compaction, leaving the plants at risk to drought stress. Effects of Greater Soil Tilth Slow seed germination and non-uniform plant stands – caused by seed beds that have too many variations in bed height and clods that are too large in size – are common yield limitations in many bedded environments. Uniform seed beds that do not have shank slots, holes or large clods are better for controlling seed depth and allow for optimum seed-to-soil contact. Refer to the chart below to see how the Case IH 2500 Rip-Bed builds uniform beds for seed depth control and seed-to-soil contact in common types of soil. The healthy tap-roots on these cotton plants ran vertically into the soil profile for greater and more efficient water uptake, while using their lateral roots, slightly below the surface, for more efficient nutrient uptake. 3
