German ploughing and cultivations specialist Lemken has released a new cultivator said to have a low draught requirement, while at the same time, always pulling straight behind the tractor.

Furrow presses can be useful for tilth breakdown, soil consolidation and moisture conservation.

Lemken has introduced the lightweight Juwel 6 to its plough range, which is designed to complement the Juwel 7, 8 and 10 mounted, reversible ploughs.

As the pressure mounts to reduce herbicide use and deliver chemicalfree food, farms growing ridge crops are faced with a problem of reducing weed burdens to maintain yields.

With growing interest in mechanical weed control to avoid the spiraling costs of herbicides, the Steketee EC-Steer parallel steering frame from German manufacturer Lemken turns un-steered hoeing machines from other manufacturers into implements with joystick or camera-controlled steering.

German machinery companies Krone and Lemken are probably better known for their grassland and cultivation products.

While war in Ukraine caused a marked increase in the cost of inorganic fertilisers, many manufacturers were already taking steps to increase their product range to make better use of organic manures and effluent.

While we keep hearing that the only way forward is the min-till or no-till approach, the reality of modern arable farming is that there is still a place for the plough.

Primarily used for reconsolidation, but also for ballasting, front-mounted furrow presses are becoming increasingly popular on tractors working with mounted seed drills.

Arable specialist Lemken has announced several upgrades to its Azurit 10 precision seed drill, available as early as next month.
