The Agronomic Design 2019 meeting passed with many farmers and huge interest
The Agronomic Design format, which combines field tests, training and lectures, was established among farmers who learn the latest in the world of agricultural technology and share their practices with colleagues
For another year, Titan Machinery Bulgaria and Case IH drew the attention of farmers with the field format - Agronomic Design - a meeting to exchange experience and share the latest technologies in the field of agricultural technology.
This year Agronomic Design took place in three locations, the first of which was on the land of the village of Trastenik near Ruse, and the attending farmers were so many that it was difficult to gather them in the Case IH specialized presentation truck where they could attend a lecture and see a video about the innovations in the sector.
For the first time in Bulgaria, the Crop Xplorer and Soil Xplorer sensors were shown - part of the AGXTEND Precision Agriculture Pack, available from Case IH.
Soil Xplorer is a contactless sensor for mapping and controlling the soil cultivation depth by using electromagnetic signals to measure soil density. It defines areas of different soil type, relative water content as well as compaction zones. The sensor examines four different layers of 0-25 cm, 15-60 cm, 55-95 cm and 85-115 cm. SoilXplorer is the only system in the market, exploring four parallel depths, working without soil contact and providing real-time data for immediate work.
With the help of the Soil Xplorer mounted on the tractor front linkage, the soil cultivation machines can be mounted on the rear linkage as standard, allowing for integration and simultaneous operation. So the cultivation equipment such as cultivators, ploughs, disc harrows, subsoilers and others can be effectively controlled and adapted to different soil conditions through ISOBUS, regardless of weather conditions and crops.
Crop Xplorer is much more than a simple fertilizer sensor. It is not by chance that it has won a number of awards for innovation in recent months. This is a precision system that uses exceptional features and algorithms to determine fertility rate based on crop needs. Two optical sensors capture precisely the need for crops of nitrogen (N). The sensor has a specialized terminal, compatible with ISOBUS fertilizer spreader, and others that use the VRA precision farming technology.
Within the precision farming package, which reduces costs and increases grain yields, the AFS RTK + correction signal in the network of Titan Machinery Bulgaria was also presented at the event, resulting in extremely high processing accuracy. The system uses a correction signal from the GSM cell of the mobile operators, thus maintaining a repeatable accuracy of +/- 1.5 cm on an annual basis. This also removes the risk associated with the RTK radio signals when the signal is often lost on hilly terrain, valleys, around buildings, forests, and more.
The security with reliable signal combined with the integrated Case AFS AccuGuide ™ - provides precise operation that saves enormous costs from skips or overlaps in the various agricultural technical events in the field.
During the Agronomic Design 2019, the grain producers also saw the Vaderstad Tempo planter in action - the Swedish brand, which is a symbol for precise and rapid planting among farmers in Bulgaria.
The 6 row Vaderstad Tempo T made a real planting in the field, equipped with the E-Services module, which allows full electronic control and monitoring of the workflow via tablet in the tractor cab, connected to the ISOBUS terminal.
Grain producers were interested to see the planting. During soil drilling, they saw precise and even seed placement at the same depth, as well as a well-formed soil bed, soil compaction and sealing on the surface.
A team of technical specialists and consultants from Case IH and Titan Machinery provided the opportunity for a test drive and real sense of the participants in the presentation with the Case IH Puma 185 and the all-new Case IH Maxxum 125 CVX Drive. In addition to a specially installed simulator, farmers could test the HMC (Headland Management Control) function, which is part of Case IH automation systems, and allows settings related to engine operation, transmission, front and rear linkage system.
The grain producers who attended the event were very pleased with the demonstrated innovations and practical field tests and highly appreciated the opportunity to work with a reliable partner such as Titan Machinery Bulgaria. The bilateral partnership for many of them is also a friendship on the basis of which a sustainable and profitable model of technology and investment is being developed.
The Titan Machinery team is grateful to the kind hosts of PK Zora, PK Divdyadovo and Agro Stil 2000, where the Agronomic Design 2019 took place.
