Grower, Adam Lewis talks about how the Mzuri system has allowed him to reduce soil run off on his Herefordshire Farm. Upgrading from a linkage Pro-Til to a trailed machine, Adam is finding the flexibility of the split tank to be useful for both fertiliser placement and for drilling cover crop mixtures.
Featured in April 2020’s edition of Direct Driller, trial farm manager Ben Knight looks at how the Mzuri system suits Maize.
“There’s no doubt I’m a proponent for the Mzuri strip tillage system, but it’s when planting Maize that the Pro-Til’s independent pivoting coulters really come in to their own. By following the directi on of travel of the drill, even around tight headland corners, seed is placed accurately into the centre of the tilled nursery zone. The level of uniformity across the field ensures row spacings and seed depth are consistent and coupled with the Xzact seed singulation units, plants are evenly spaced apart, maximising the light intercepti on to be converted into yield.”

Focussed on reducing inputs and saving passes the Xzact system provides a great opportunity to establish conventional crops and plant precisely when needed. Diesel savings of up to 80% while growing higher yielding crops have been measured by Mzuri in trials over the past few years on their trial farms. In addition, one other point to consider is the environmental benefits of leaving soil undisturbed helping to conserve biology and beneficial organisms

Featured in January 2020’s edition of Direct Driller, we explain why you shouldn’t compromise this spring.
“A large part of the trial farms turnaround has been put down to widening the cropping rotation and including more cover and spring crops, something that the manufacturer advocates and is easily achievable using the Pro-Til drill.
With the exceptionally poor weather restricting much of drilling during Autumn 2019, the manufacturer suggests getting spring cropping right will be even more important this year.
Designed to deliver quick and consistent establishment direct into residue the Mzuri Pro-Til drill boasts several innovative features that make it ideally suited to spring drilling and getting a crop up and away quickly.”
