GEOCONTROL - Cost saving with immediate payback 

Seeding with GPS and GEOCONTROL in combination with an electric driven precision drill is a major step towards precision and cost saving. These machines are all equipped with ISOBUS technology which with the help of the IsoMatch Tellus terminal, can be easily controlled. 

Each electric driven seeding element, in combination with GPS and GEOCONTROL, is automatically switched on or off in exactly the right place, ensuring there is no overlap with any row that has already been seeded. This is especially handy in triangular fields, on curved or irregular shaped headlands.

GEOSEED - Precision at high end

GEOSEED is the precise synchronization of seed placement across the full working width of the machine. This ensures that seeds are distributed evenly, achieving an optimal pattern—either parallel or diamond-shaped—across the soil surface. The positive effects of this technology are far-reaching. By enhancing seed distribution, GEOSEED maximizes the efficient use of key resources such as nutrients, water, and sunlight, fostering optimal plant growth. Additionally, this uniform planting pattern helps reduce the risks of wind and water erosion, as the even distribution of plants improves soil structure and coverage, leading to better water retention and minimizing soil degradation.

Due to varying soil conditions and working speeds, the force required to maintain a defined working depth will vary. Kverneland GEOFORCE is the automatically steered constant depth guidance on the go, independent from changing soil conditions, residues, weather and working speed. Perfectly precise seed placement at an even sowing depth is the pre-requisite for optimal field emergence, good harvest conditions, resulting in higher yields and best corn quality.

With the new GEOFORCE system, each individual Optima sowing row is automatically pressurized adjusting to changing soil conditions or forward speeds. The automatic, constant pressure control ensures optimal seed placement at an even seed horizon which results in uniform seed germination and field emergence. Especially smaller seeds like rape, which need a shallower sowing depth, benefit from the release option of GEOFORCE. In addition, the bulldozing effect or formation of dams in very light soil conditions are prevented.

The GEOFORCE system 

Varying conditions are challenging as light soil requires less pressure to penetrate the soil by the cutting discs than heavier soils. The weight of the sowing unit is either not enough or already too heavy. The target is to ensure even depth control for precise seed placement in various soil conditions and working speeds by maintaining a constant contact force with a consistent weight on the gauge wheel. Sensor technology converts this information and a double-acting hydraulic cylinder in the parallelogram adjusts the oil pressure to guide the sowing row to an even depth. Each sowing unit is individually monitored and automatically regulated on the go. With the GEOFORCE system, all rows keep up the same sowing depth, also those running in more compacted areas like tractor tracks.

Benefits, Comfort and Savings

The Kverneland GEOFORCE reduces operator's workload, monitors and improves the quality of sowing. GEOFORCE ensures an even seed placement and plant development. This will decrease farm production costs and lead to a higher, better-quality yield.

Uniform germination and an even field emergence promote quick soil coverage by leaves, reducing weed pressure. Less chemicals or mechanical weeding passes are required. The risk of losses due to bird damage attracted by uncovered seeds or missing emergence due to too deep seed placement is minimised. Smaller seeds at shallow sowing depth, like rape, benefit from the ability to release the row, making it independent of row weight. With pressure generated precisely where needed on the row, optimal seed placement is ensured. Kverneland GEOFORCE reduces fuel consumption by minimising bulldozing effects and enables smooth operation at higher working speeds. Moreover, the maintenance cycles and lifetime of the coulters and wearing parts is extended due to the adapted pressure adjustment on the go.

Micro-drill for Optima HD-II and SX sowing units

The demand for microgranule applicators is increasing. Micro nutrients and also small amounts of insecticides or fungicides ensure the best start of the crop.

The electric driven micro-drills for the Optima HD-II and SX sowing units have been designed as backpack behind the sowing units and offer a hopper capacity of 17 liters.

They are electrically driven and ISOBUS controlled. The metering device consists of a wear-resistant plastic housing with exchangeable cell wheels made of stainless steel. This ensures the precise metering of the micro granules.

Operator’s safety

The engineers had focus on highest level of operator’s safety by offering easy and safe handling of the applicator. Therefore, the operator can exchange the cell wheels even when the hoppers are full of micro granule. There is no need to empty them first, reducing the operator’s risk of getting in direct contact with the granules.

A plus for the environment

The micro granules fall freely into the seed furrow without any air support, minimising the emission of dust. Therefore, the new micro-drill fully complies with the current guidelines for emission control of any granules applied.

Precision Farming

The comfortable, fully ISOBUS integrated control system allows the adaption to the stop and starting points of the seed row. This ensures precise shutting on and off at the end of the field and in tramlines (without overlaps or faults).

With its advanced hardware and software features, the IsoMatch Tellus PRO provides the optimal precision farming solution for an all-in-one control system inside your tractor cab.

IsoMatch Tellus PRO is the centre for connecting all ISOBUS machines and a platform for running precision farming applications.

GEOSEED increases the yields of row crops and ensures maximum efficiency. Seeds are placed perfectly in line and in relation to each other.

GEOSEED is offered in two different levels:

GEOSEED Level 1 is the synchronization in the machines working width. This improves the distribution of seeds up to perfection in parallel or diamond pattern: Positive effects are the best use of nutrients, water and sun. Also the wind and water erosion is decreased.

GEOSEED Level 2 is the synchronization in the whole field. This is the necessary requirement for interrow cultivation, also across the seeding direction. GEOSEED is the only system in the world, that makes this mechanic weeds control possible!
