SOIL PREPARATION

A family owned company based in the Netherlands, Struik has been designing and building specialised soil preparation equipment since 1934. The legendary STRUIK RF range has made a name for itself in Southern Africa as the machine that gets the job done. It is not uncommon to hear the phrase “die land was gestruik” from farmers. The most popular model in the range is the RF200, but we also have quite a few of the RF165, 4RF310, 4RF380 as well as the enormous 8RF610 working around Southern Africa. Its proven reliability and robust build has made this machine legendary where quality soil prep is required in difficult conditions especially for the cultivation of carrots and potatoes.

INTER ROW CULTIVATOR STRUIK is the leader in soil prep equipment for potatoes. The ZF range allows inter row cultivation of potatoes making it possible to do Mechanical weed control; Rebuilding of ridges without damage to the crop thereby protecting against sun and moth damage.

Available from 2 row to 8 row.

MECHANICAL WEEDING The STRUIK Weedfix ® is available as a mechanical or hydraulically driven and can be fitted both in front and at the back of the tractor. The patented tooth holder and teeth can be adjusted within a working circle adjustable between 150mm-330mm. The frame units are installed within a parallelogram suspended frame to achieve optimum weeding. The teeth can be set precisely, so that it is possible to work very close to the plant. Soil between the rows is tilled and shifted towards the plant.

LET’S GROW TOGETHER FORIGO WAS FOUNDED IN 1970 – ONE OF THE IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS COMPANY IS THE SPECIAL ATTENTION PAID TO THE SOIL PREPARATION BEFORE PLANTING. MODELS AVAILABLE:

POWER HARROW. FOLDING POWER HARROWS. ROTARY TILLERS. FLAIL MOWERS. STONE BURIERS. BED FORMERS. STERILIZING / BURIER.

The Forigo Stone Burier was introduced into South Africa in September 2012. The stone burier has become extremely popular with growers who are forced to work in difficult conditions. The unique way in which the stone burier buries stones, material and clods this creates a perfect fine seed bed ready for planting.

SEEDLING PLANTER

FERRARI COSTRUZIONI MECCANICHE: We own the leadership in the mechanization of horticulture. Specializing in the production of transplanting machines, both mechanical and automatic, for seedlings in modules, square blocks and bare roots. Research, Customization and continuous Development: these are our mind sets, and the guidelines of our company. The technological content we apply to our machines is the most advanced on the market. Our aim is to take innovation to the field! The Ferrari FMAX model is the most popular model sold in Southern Africa. The patented design ensures that the seedling is placed at the correct depth and the correct inter row spacing. With a capacity from anywhere between 3000 to 5000 sedlings per hour per element, the Ferrari FMAX has proven itself to be reliable, efficient and cost effective.

SEEDLING PLANTER The Ferrari FX series seedling planter is used mainly by the speciality lettuce grower. Smaller seedling cups and ploughshares allow for narrower spacing. (Min 28cm) Using the same patented system as the FMAX model it will also be able to plant from about 3000 seedlings per hour.

The winning choice… ITALIAN AGRICOLA Srl - Was founded in 1977 in Padua in the heart of the north east of Italy. A leading company in its sector has always affirmed the exclusive production of precision pneumatic sowers that meet the individual requirements of its customers. The product range covers all the needs of sowing, from any variety of vegetables, adding a line of heavy duty drill for sowing corn, green beans, beetroot, cotton, sunflower and other seeds.

Inside the seeding unit the disc turns in the opposite direction of travel. The direction of rotation minimizes “bounce” of the seeds ensuring much more accurate seed placement.

Agricola Italiana seed drills have separate aspiration and compression systems. The compressor is used to keep the seed holes clear, rather than relying on the exhaust of the suction fan. This ensures that, only dry clean air, at the correct pressure is used. This is particularly important with small seeds.

Mechanical weeding

The Steketee weed control machines contain a full program of tools with various similarities with regard to application and use of materials.

The similarities concern bearers, drawbar points, top link connections, furrow wheels, etc. These similarities increase user friendliness and give a reduction on purchase of new machines.

Once in possession of one of our machines, purchasing a next machine is only an extension of the existing machine. All weed control machines, both weeding and spraying fall under this system.

Hoeing elements the hoeing element consists of a parallelogram with rubber tyre wheel, which allows mounting one hoeing blade, three hoeing blades or cultivator tines. The basic element can also

be used for a disc hoeing or finger weeding.

MECHANICAL WEEDING

HIGH-EFFICIENCY MACHINES FOR MODERN AGRICULTURE

Badalini is one of the oldest firms in Italy, started in 1949 by Mr. Franco Badalini. The same family has been the only owners for more than 75years. Franco patented the cultivators with spring tines, which afterwards was produced as standards all over the world, and also by other companies. He also conceived a revolutionary disc harrow which he patented some innovative details. He also invented and patented the harrow with the interchangeable tines, suitable to work the soil with tractors for both with or without hydraulic power lift device.

Models available: SH/MAIA with springs. SH / DIANA with straight tines and discs. SRX / ROMEO SPECIAL.

Inter-row cultivators allow eliminating the use of herbicides, to perform a fast and perfect weeding and to fertilize the crops with precision. All of this happens in only one trail, removing repeated and expensive operations. SH/ are modular and sectional machines, proper for every type of cultivation in rows. The particular pressure spring keeps the machine on the soil and allows the penetration without problems, even in hard situations. All models also have independent parallelograms, and every single articulated joint reserve is mounted on every joint. Thanks to their strongest and versatility , SH/ can weed, ridge and fertilize on every type of soil, and on any crop with rows from 300 to 1000mm and with speed from 5 to 12km/h, with consistent reduction of working costs.

Length Grader EM 1430-1454 length graders for carrots have capacities from3-8 t/h. The machines grade the carrots by length over stainless vibrating riddles with infinitely adjustable spacing. The machine is designed in such a way that the carrots do not accumulate in the riddles, and it is available with 2, 3, or 4 grading.

EELWORM MANAGEMENT

Bladrammenas is a green manure (seed) crop which at the same time will reduce Eelworm – better known as (Nematodes) with as much as 95% when sown properly. For Eelworm to be active the ground temperature must be minus 10 degrees during the growing period. Depending on the soil type, Bladrammenas needs 100kg pure Nitrogen. The roots can grow as deep as 2 meters, which is excellent for the next crop drainage.

After approximately 3 months the crop is worked in by first mulching the crop and then working it underground. The finish results will be as much as 180 tons per hectare of green manure. By working it underground it releases a gas called Metamsodium (Biological gas) which also kills eelworms and dangerous Fungus diseases. The land must then rest for 2 – 3 weeks thereafter, which will then be full of micro-life, which is beneficial for the next crops which need to be planted. N.B. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO SEED THE BLADRAMMENAS PROPERLY. The seeds are imported from the Netherlands by Javelin Seeds in South Africa. Credential evidence from the Netherlands, is that 60 000 hectares of Blarammenas is grown.
