SAMSON COMMITS TO SLURRY INCORPORATION WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE CDf AND CDx
Each method of applying organic fertilisers offers distinct advantages depending on crop types and soil conditions. Whether reducing environmental impact through precision application techniques or enhancing nutrient absorption by integrating soil cultivation, choosing the right method is crucial for sustainable and optimal crop growth. It is with this objective in mind that SAMSON has developed two new disc incorporators: the CDf and the CDx. These innovative tools combine high-performance fertilisation and soil preservation, optimising the use of organic fertilisers even near residential areas, while preparing the seedbed in various agricultural environments.
The advantages of slurry incorporation.
Incorporating organic fertilisers into the soil limits nutrient losses from volatilisation and leaching by placing them near plant roots. In addition to maximising nutrient uptake, this method reduces ammonia emissions by up to 85%, improving air quality and minimising odour, which is particularly important in residential areas. Moreover, incorporation stimulates microbial activity and enhances soil structure, ensuring long-term soil health and optimised yields. It also helps reduce erosion and runoff, providing an ecological and precise response to the challenges of modern agriculture.
CDf and CDx: two incorporators for diverse needs
The new SAMSON disc incorporators, CDf and CDx, are designed to adapt to different soil types,whether sandy, filled with plant residues, or heavy soils. The CDf is ideal for light post-harvest work, with a working depth of 3 to 12 cm and a width of 4.5 to 6 meters, making it perfect for stubble and cover crops. Its 510 mm notched discs, arranged in staggered rows, provide excellent soil penetration, while rubber suspension minimises vibrations. Its depth control
wheels and comb harrow ensure precise work, even in challenging conditions. The CDf can handle slurry flow rates of up to 6,000 l/min, making it efficient for large-scale applications. The CDx, designed for heavier soils, offers a working width of 8 meters and an adjustable depth of 3 to 12 cm. Its discs, mounted on double or triple arms, ensure precise depth control, while T-profile rollers or bar rollers compact the soil, efficiently preparing the seedbed. This robust model operates at speeds of up to 16 km/h, with a slurry incorporation capacity of 70 tonnes/ha. Its foldable central discs facilitate transport while maintaining optimal stability. Like the CDf, the CDx is equipped with a vertical distributor for precise slurry distribution and a side star disc for perfect soil levelling, allowing immediate sowing after incorporation.
A versatile range of incorporators from SAMSON
With the introduction of the CDf and CDx, SAMSON completes its range of incorporators, now offering five models: CDf, CDx, CM, SD II, and Strip-Till. This range covers working depths from 3 to 30 cm and widths from 4.5 to 8 meters, with speeds ranging from 6 to 16 km/h. These machines are designed to meet various agricultural needs,
from stubble fields to ploughed soils, promoting the decomposition of plant residues and improving nutrient retention while reducing ammonia losses. Studies show that slurry incorporation can reduce emissions by up to 85%, providing a sustainable solution for agriculture. By placing nutrients near plant roots, these machines maximise absorption while minimising access to undesirable microorganisms and weed seeds.
