Kurzfassung

A French company has developed a new material/equipment to work the different layers of soil (deeply or not) by keeping the initial structure and so by preserving its biological properties. This equipment is particularly suitable for wine growers who are engaged in soil activity boosting and preservation. The company is looking for partners interested in a commercial agreement.

Details

For many years the soils have been suffering from evolution and abusive modernisation:
- Tractors are more and more powerful, and increasingly heavy, which results in soil compression.
- The use of quantities of weed-killer has destroyed biological activities.
- The mechanical mixing of the different soil layers has destroyed biodiversity.

A French company has developed a new material/equipment to work the different layers of soil (deeply or not) by keeping the initial structure and so by preserving its biological properties.

This equipment allows:
- To break up the soil deeply without destroying layers.
- To loosen and restructure the soil compacted by tractors (10-18 cm).
- To make easier water circulation, soil aeration and fortify the roots.
All this is done thanks to extremely sharp arms, self-sharpening and fitted with continuously acting double safety springs. The double safety springs reinforce loosening thanks to the shock waves they transmit.

Moreover the equipment ensures mechanical weeding without using weed-killer. Users could thus save money on the purchasing of weed-killers, but also preserve environment. As this work is near the surface and without requiring force, thus users reduce their fuel consumption.

The organic matter is kept on the soil and so the erosion is fought out. The roll ensures the setting of working depth.

Innovative Aspects:
The equipment is environment-friendly especially thanks to the double safety springs:
- No use of weed-killer.
- Less consumption of fuel is needed.
- Erosion is fought out and biodiversity is preserved.
- Biological activities are boosted.

No specific skills are required to maintain the equipment: robust mechanical parts compose the material.
