Sowing by covering over<br />

Productivity, sturdiness and simplicity<br />

When sowing by covering over, we do<br />

not control the depth of sowing, but the<br />

amount of soil which covers the seeds.<br />

Only an independent disc with a pan<br />

angle is able to sow by covering over.<br />

The pan angle of the disc lifts up the<br />

soil as of a speed of 8 km/h. The soil is<br />

refined thanks to the shock as it hits<br />

the board and then it covers the seed.<br />

The depth is controlled by adjusting the<br />

amount of soil which is lifted up. This<br />

amount is proportional to the working<br />

depth of the second row of discs. The<br />

rear roller maintains the discs at a<br />

constant working depth, whatever the<br />

working speed, so the sowing depth is<br />

Sowing rows of crops<br />

regular. This sowing system creates<br />

bands of crops as the seed are sown<br />

every 25cm.<br />

The Disc-O-Sem for sowing by covering<br />

over is available in mechanical or pneumatic<br />

versions. The widths available<br />

are from <strong>3m</strong> to 6m as mounted or<br />

towed models.<br />

8 to 18 km/h<br />
