Fendt Future Zone - Sowing

Welcome to the #FendtFutureZone - sowing edition, where we dive deep into the heart of agriculture's most fundamental act: sowing. In this dynamic exploration, we unravel the intricate tapestry of techniques and technologies that propel the art of sowing into the future.

Sowing marks the crucial start of a successful agricultural cycle. Today let’s take a look at two highly effective sowing techniques: drill sowing and precision sowing.?

In drill sowing, commonly used for cereals, the seed is sown with seed drills in evenly spaced rows. The seed is placed in furrows, which are then sealed using techniques such as harrowing. This method enables efficient use of the land and even distribution of the seed for homogeneous germination and plant growth. Precision seeding, widely used for crops that require precise seed placement, uses pneumatic or mechanical control systems to place the seed precisely in the rows at predefined distances. This technique allows precise control of plant spacing, improving crop quality and yield. Both drill seeding and precision seeding contribute to improving resource efficiency in agriculture and optimally adapting cultivation practices to requirements. By using these innovative techniques, farmers can not only increase their yields, but also implement more sustainable and efficient cultivation methods.?

The history of sowing in agriculture is a fascinating journey through time, beginning with the first farmers who spread seeds on the ground by hand. But over the centuries, more and more advanced techniques were developed to optimize sowing. In the Middle Ages, sophisticated sowing machines such as the seed plow were introduced, which significantly improved the precision of sowing. With the industrial revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries, mechanized sowing techniques became established, which led to a considerable increase in efficiency. In the 20th century, modern agricultural machinery such as pneumatic seed drills and precision sowing techniques brought a further revolution in sowing technology. Today, modern farmers face new challenges, including adapting to climate change and promoting sustainable farming methods. But with advanced technologies and a deep understanding of nature's needs, they are ready to take on these challenges and shape the future of agriculture.?

During AGRITECHNICA 2023, Fendt presented ground-breaking innovations for agriculture in the Fendt Future Zone. Products on show included the Fendt 936 Vario HVO tractor with Autonomy Kit and the Strip Till System. These technologies revolutionize tillage by making it possible to work the soil in narrow strips while preserving most of the surrounding plant material. The result of these innovative solutions? Less water loss, less erosion, reduced labor and time savings. Given the current challenges in agriculture, such as extreme weather conditions and shorter harvesting windows, the development of such innovations is crucial. Fendt is aware of this urgency and is actively promoting solutions that not only increase productivity but also minimize environmental impact. By introducing advanced technologies, Fendt is making an important contribution to the future of agriculture by helping farmers to work more efficiently and sustainably.???
