Overview
THE ADVANTAGES OF
AGROWPLOWING.
Achieve optimal plant growth with excellent yields with
the Agrowplow AP series.
Designed for rootbed renovation in all soil types and
conditions, the Agrowplow can be successfully provide
the penetration required to establish an even seed bed
for an optimal seeding environment.
Extensively used in the farming of cereal, cotton, sugar,
vegetables, vineyards and orchards under both dry land
and irrigation farming method, the Agrowplow will get
the job done perfectly and with minimal effort.
The Agrowplow Origins
The Origins of Agrowplow began with the observation
and concern about the devastating effects of
conventional cultivation on agricultural soils. Traditional
cultivation and sowing techniques have caused erosion
by wind and rain and severe breakdown of soil
structure. Continual passes of the tractor and
deterioration of soil structure have also formed
compacted layers below the surface.
These soil damaging factors combine to seriously limit
plant growth and yields, and erode our precious asset.
In the case of compacted layers, water absorption is
prevented and root growth is restricted, preventing the
plants’ access to nutrients. Helpful soil microbes and
earthworms are reduced or eliminated because poor
soil structure causes pastures to become water-logged
quicker, dry out faster, and often make tillage operations
almost impossible.
Eliminate soil compaction.
The unique Agrowplow shank is set to work below the
compacted hard pan to uplift and shatter it without
inversion of the soil. As a result the soil particles
become aerated without violent separation while
allowing greater moisture infiltration into the seed bed.
This minimizes fine soil aggregates and creates
conditions ideal for microbial action. Crop roots are
then free to pursue moisture and nutrients deep in the
soil to maximise plant growth and yield.
With heavy rains, see more moisture stored in the
ground and less water logging on the surface or runoff
into sloughs.
Get Roots Deeper
The Agrowplow will produce strong, healthy plant
roots, as the roots have access to follow moisture down
through the soil profile without hitting the hardpan.
Crops withstand a longer dry period, because the
moisture from the winter has been banked. With a
bigger root mass below the ground, the more foliage
and yield above the ground.
Boost yields
With less runoff, more stored water in the subsoil and
better root penetration, farmers see more robust crop
growth, better drought resistance, more even
germination, reduced crop variability, earlier maturity
and higher yields.
Retain moisture
The Agrowplow AP series allows you to capture winter
moisture, move it into the subsoil and eliminate runoff.
