1/Agronomic Benefits: The combination of ploughing and re-consolidating is both efficient and environmentally friendly. Soils are loosened, organic matters are incorporated to enrich the soils. Weeds are controlled mechanically. The elevation of temperature of the ploughed soil is actually positive. The associated water evaporation is limited by the immediate re-consolidation via packers. Water capilarity is hence reestablished for the benefit of the soil life. 2/Maximise efficiency: Driven by efficient crop management processes, as a farmer, it is difficult to grant sufficient time for the soil to settle by itself. Furthermore, soil moisture shall be maintained to ensure a good germination after seeding. Kverneland's re-consolidating tools are therefore recommended in combination with ploughing or directly before seeding. Coarse clods get crushed, soil is reconsolidated with a favourable soil moisture. 3/Higher profitability: Profitability is generally improved by either cutting down costs or improving yields. By re-consolidating soils either during ploughing or directly before seeding, the profitability improves on both ends. Cost are reduced by completing 2 operations simultaneously. The fuel consumption is optimised too. Yields will improved due to the re-consolidation of the soils.
