Väderstad has increased the capacity of the BioDrill for Rapid 300-400C/S by more than 40 per cent on its 2024 model.
BioDrill is a mountable seeding unit that enables the application of a third product in addition to seed and fertilizer for Väderstad seed drills.
Björn Jeansson, Väderstad’s director of seed drill product management said in a release that over time, the company has seen an increased demand for applying additional products together with the seeding operation, such as using the BioDrill to establish cover crops and grass seeds, or to place a starter fertilizer together with the seeds.
