Super Maxx® BIO on the tractor cultivating cereal stubble

The Super Maxx® BIO easily reaches working depths of up to 15 cm and penetrates reliably even in dried-out soils. For the first stubble pass, however, it is better to work shallow with the narrow point to begin with. The GÜTTLER Super Maxx® BIO breaks capillarity, and the stubble and straw are mixed with soil to form a cover. Underneath it, a moist greenhouse climate develops for rapid and complete germination of weed seeds and volunteer cereals. Thanks to the high-frequency vibration of the double spring tines, enough fine soil is created on the very first pass, even in dry conditions, for volunteer cereals to germinate quickly. A second pass, e.g. 10 days later, uses the swept points to cut off the new growth of weeds and volunteer cereals across the full width and mixes the straw in near the surface so that it can then decompose quickly and completely. The double harrow reliably shakes the soil off uprooted weeds and germinated volunteer cereals, so that they dry out quickly on the surface. The GÜTTLER Super Maxx® BIO for mechanical weed control has a low draught requirement, so it can be used with small tractors too, saving fuel. You will find more information on the many benefits of the GÜTTLER Super Maxx® BIO on the following pages. We also invite you to watch our expert videos – or ask our sales team for a demonstration today.

    At harvest, around 70% of the larvae are below the second node – so the maize stubble needs to be snapped and crushed and the root crown damaged.
