Interim conclusion after 3 weeks: What is going well in the sunflower test – and what isn't? 🌻

Quick recap of the experimental setup:

👉️ 4 plots: ploughing, deep (20 cm) tillage, shallow tillage (10 cm) & direct seeding
👉️ Fertilisation: underground fertilisation with urea (45 to 75 kg/ha) or contact fertilisation while sowing with UAN (40 to 60 l/ha)

After 3 weeks, differences in emergence can be observed:

▶️ Visually, the best impression is with the cultivated variants using urea as starter fertiliser.

▶️ With the variants using 50 l/ha UAN, we are seeing problems with emergence. We suspect burns.
👉️ Learning: In future tests with liquid fertiliser, we will pay attention to low application rates or a greater distance to the seed row (> 2 cm).

▶️ The direct seeding variants are slightly behind in development compared to the variants with prior soil cultivation.

Of course, we will continue to monitor the development of the crops and keep you updated here!

What strategy are you using for sunflowers this year?

HORSCH Leeb AX: The compact & manoeuverable trailed sprayer

Despite its compact dimensions (4 000 l tank & 18-30 m working width), the Leeb AX can impress with several features:

▶️ Standard precision: The active boom control system BoomControl ensures minimal drift and a constant target area distance.

▶️ Flexibility with regard to the tractor: Due to LoadSensing, PTO drive, and independent hydraulic system

👉️ Optional: Continuous inside cleaning ProfiClean & pneumatic nozzle and section control

👀 Our conclusion: Compact, user-friendly, and uncompromisingly precise probably best describes our Leeb AX!

HORSCH Leeb CS: Compact & agile

The Leeb CS, with a working width of 15–30 m, is the optimal mounted sprayer for small-structured regions where frequent manoeuvering and turning are required.

With options for partial folding, section control, and optional 25cm nozzle spacing, the most important technologies of the "big brothers" are combined in the compact mounted sprayer. 🤝

HORSCH Practical Check: Sunflowers🌻

To find out how we can achieve the optimum for the plants, we are continuously testing new approaches here at Sitzenhof. Two weeks ago, we sowed sunflowers.

The test setup in detail 👀

4 plots:
1️⃣ Plough
2️⃣ Deep tillage (20 cm)
3️⃣ Shallow tillage (10 cm)
4️⃣ Direct seeding

Either an underground fertilisation with urea (45 to 75 kg/ha) or a contact fertilisation during seeding with UAN (40 to 60 l/ha) was carried out.

Work was done with a Leeb 1.4 CT and the Maestro 6 TV.

Interim result after 14 days:
Differences are already visible: The variant with urea emerged much more evenly.

💬 What experiences did you have with growing sunflowers or with the targeted use of liquid fertiliser for germination? Let us know in the comments!

Insights from our r**eseed test 👀

We have set up a test with different r**eseed varieties at various row widths from 45 cm to 1 m.

The photos show the crop shortly before flowering: Different stages of row closure can be observed.

This brings us to an interesting practical discussion: What experiences have you had with conventional seeding and precision seeding in r**eseed?
Write it in the comments. 👇️

Note: This is a test, not a scientific evaluation.

Maestro TV: Versatile & precise single-grain technology

Many of you are already familiar with the Maestro TX. The TV version, on the other hand, is still quite new.

The highlights of both machines:
▶️ The hydraulically adjustable row spacing from 45 to 80 cm
▶️ The absolutely precise placement & seed embedding with maximum efficiency

Where is the difference?
▶️ The Maestro TV relies on the AirVac metering system (singulation via vacuum) at operational speeds up to 12 km/h.
▶️ The Maestro TX, on the other hand, works with overpressure (AirSpeed) at operational speeds up to 15 km/h.

The familiar features of the TX are, of course, also present on the TV:

👉 1 300 l fertiliser tank
👉 Individual row shut-off
👉 Coulter pressures from 150 to 220 kg/row (adjustable in the terminal or automatically with AutoForce)
👉 Operation with new user interface

HORSCH Terrano 3 FX: Our 3-bar classic for tillage

Hard conditions? No problem.
The range of applications? Wide.

👉️ The Terrano 3 FX impresses both with a shallow, all-over stubble cultivation and with intensive loosening and mixing.

The highlights at a glance:

▶️ Efficiency: The MulchMix point system ensures intensive mixing with low horsepower requirement.

▶️ Stability: Frame designed for up to 300 HP – durable and robust.

▶️ Comfort: Maintenance-free bearings and the well-proven TerraGrip system (500 kg release force) save time and hassle.

▶️ Result: The disc levelling and the RollFlex packer leave a seedbed-ready surface.

The perfect choice when it comes to flexibility and durability!

HORSCH Leeb 12 TD: Efficient & intelligent

The steering software DynamicSteering allows for an automatic switching between track-accurate and low-wear steering.

The steering modes at a glance:

▶️ Maximum track accuracy: Protects your crops in the headlands area.

▶️ Maximum material protection: Reduces wear on axles and tires and allows for a tight turning radius.

▶️ Combination of both modes: The software selects between track-accurate and low-wear steering based on the steering angle.

The result: Crops and machine are protected, and operators are relieved 🤝

Maestro CV/CX: Compact medium class with maximum efficiency🌽🌻

Versatility without compromise: The Maestro CV/CX combines a large-capacity seed wagon with working widths up to 9 m.
High work rates with relatively low tractor power requirements. 💪

Why the Maestro CV/CX stands out:

➡️Flexible frame: Due to the clamping profile, it’s easy to switch between different row configurations (8 to 18 rows, 45 to 80 cm spacing).
➡️Two metering options: Choose between AirVac or AirSpeed for perfect singulation of maize, r**e, beets, or soya.
➡️AutoForce: Automatically adjusts coulter pressure (up to 350 kg) by using the wagon's weight, ensuring perfect placement while protecting the soil.
➡️Centralised supply: With the MTS (MainTankSupply) system, you can fill your seed hopper centrally and get back to work faster.

Whether you’re ploughing, mulch-sowing or direct-sowing – the Maestro CV/CX adapts to your farm. 🚜
