- Pottinger is helping to make crop care work easier and more precise with the introduction of its Row Crop Assist function
The new online application Row crop Assist gives interactive support to get the optimum configuration of Flexcare row crop cultivators. First, it requests information on the planting process and the tractor that will be used for the crop care work. The application then shows the optimum row crop cultivator configuration in a way that is clear and accessible to everyone.
Pöttinger has already successfully implemented the Tramline Assist application for an optimum tramline system in arable farming. For harvesting grassland, Haytool Assist makes it quick and easy to find the right tedder to match different mowers. Building on this success, Pöttinger has now launched Row Crop Assist to optimise the set-up of mechanical crop care machines.
The objective of all the Pöttinger Assist applications is to optimise farming processes using intuitive on-screen visualisation and outputting notification messages with recommendations. That’s how complex knowledge is tailored to specific use cases and displayed in a way that makes it easy to use.
The company claims that even the basic version of the Flexcare row crop cultivator is unmatched in its ability to adapt to the needs of all crop types, the crop row widths, and the site-specific conditions. The hoe elements and weeding tools can be adapted to different processing scenarios in just a few steps.
Because climatic, social and political conditions are continuously changing, there is increasing demand to rethink existing arable farming strategies. The Flexcare row crop cultivator optimally prepares farmers and contractors for the future. The unbeatable flexibility of the row crop cultivator allows the farm to try out new crops and new planting systems without cost-intensive new purchases. This significantly lowers the barrier to start hoeing oil seed rape, field beans and cereals. In addition, it can be used for contract work and by machinery rings to increase machine utilisation.
The Row Crop Assist applications provides support before and after buying a row crop cultivator to configure the machine in the best way possible depending on the seed drill and crop care technology used.
The best working results depend on perfectly matched processes that minimise losses and make the best possible use of synergies. Maximum precision during the hoeing process is the key to the highest possible success in mechanical weed control.
