<strong>Agrisem</strong> International's fissuring technique<br />

ensures improved productivity for<br />

the farmer and nearly eliminates runoff,<br />

erosion and pollution. An official<br />

independent trial proved it spectacularly.<br />

Results measured after rainfall of 26<br />

mm (during a storm). Comparison between<br />

different cultivation techniques<br />

on silty/sandy soil with a 6% slope<br />

(maize) including a control plot which<br />

was ploughed traditionally and a plot<br />

worked with an <strong>Agrisem</strong> Combiplow.<br />

* please note that in this trial, the pollution due to run-off was halved (102mg/l) in presence of<br />

surface mulch when using the <strong>Agrisem</strong> technique.<br />

Savings<br />

Comparison: standard system/<strong>Agrisem</strong> technique<br />

Our equipment allows to halve the working time. With a doubled productivity<br />

your farm will be ready to face the future with equanimity.<br />
