Overview
The distribution accuracy of crop protection products and soil conditioners with the SKW System is the key to healthier plant growth and corresponding market quality.
Advantages
- Reduction of crop protection products and soil conditioners through faster absorption and more efficient action
- High water distribution accuracy and improved dosing
- Faster drying on plants and fruits
- Less rinsing of the sprayer when changing active ingredients
Practical experience with the SKW-System
- Initial report documented since 2017 by the Working Group for Arable and Potato Cultivation Stader Geest near Hamburg/Altes Land.
- Sprayers: Lemken, Horsch, Dammann, Amazone.
- Water application rates: reduced from 200 l/ha by 50 l/ha.
- For potato fungicides, the previously common 300–400 l/ha are no longer required – 250 l/ha are sufficient.
- Reduction in all areas of plant protection products or fungicides/herbicides.
Growth Regulators
- Cereals: effectiveness increased by 10%.
- Rapeseed: effectiveness increased by 15%.
