 Deep cultivation - Discordon +/or Topdown

In other conditions where soil preparation has to be deep (potato, sugarcane,...), we recommend tools such as the Discordon or the Heliplow from Grégoire Besson, or their ploughs (traditional or disc harrows types).

The Topdown, a new equipment designed by Väderstad, is also an outstanding tool in certain circumstances.

Afterwards, the Väderstad Carrier (see "Shallow cultivation" page) will be perfect for appropriate leveling and consolidation (direct drilling, disc harrows).

 

 

 

We also use tools (Synchrospire) from Franquet, with their double rear coil, either alone or in combination with planters (especially for onion planting in capping soils).

      

Reversible disk type ploughs (disc harrrows) from Grégoire Besson
This soil preparation tool is quite interesting in arid and tropical areas: it doesn't wear out as quickly as other equipment in stony soils and gives better results than traditional plows in other soil types. Depending on your needs, we will help you choose among a large range of possibilities: number of discs (up to 14), power (up to 300 horse power).

Discordon from Gregoire Besson
This tool will do an excellent job and can, of course be used after the disk type plow if necessary. The X-shaped disk harrows are comprised of 4 disc gangs operating in a symmetrical way. Working depth is about 35 cm. A roller can be mounted at the rear. It will reduce water evaporation and facilitate seed germination if planting is done immediately after soil preparation.

 


 

 Special situations

When a deep hard pan has to be eliminated, we recommend the use of tools which won't disturb the vertical soil organization: depending on conditions (soils, available power...), differente tools can be used such as the Heliplow or the Soil-lifter from Gregoire Besson.
