APPLICATIONS
15.2.1
WINTER CEREALS
Uses in the fall:
1) Use for soil aeration: destruction of the already-germinating weeds,
2) Use for early seeding: light use at the 2-leaf to 3-leaf stage (very effective against silky bent grass)
Uses in the spring:
1) Use with light to medium setting as early as possible
Objective: strengthening the stock, stimulation of tillering, soil loosening, and aeration
2) Use at 30
– 40 cm growth height
15.2.2
SUMMER CEREALS
1) Use with medium setting at the 3-leaf stage
2) Use with a relatively strong setting before crop closure, since the weed pressure is stronger in the
spring.
Maize
1) Use for blind hoeing: however, this is only possible at a greater seeding depth (4 - 5 cm).
2) Use at a growth height of approx. 7
– 15 cm: at this growth height, the Rotary Hoe can be used full-
surface between the rows. At this growth stage, you should hoe the field on warm days, when the
maize plants become more flexible due to the heat from the sun and therefore do not break.
Beets
1) Use at a growth height of 3
– 4 cm (light to medium aggressiveness)
Vegetables
1) Use for cuttings and seeds: At a growth height of 4 to 5 cm (light aggressiveness), cuttings
– approx.
14 days after planting (light aggressiveness)
2) Use depending on beneficial weed pressure and soil conditions
Peas
1) Use: blind hoeing
2) Use: 8-leaf stage
Soy
1) Use: blind hoeing (light aggressiveness)
2) Use: at the 3-leaf to 4-leaf stage (medium aggressiveness)
3) Use: depending on beneficial weed infestation (strong aggressiveness)
Field beans
1) Use: blind hoeing
2) Use: at the 8-leaf stage of the beans (medium aggressiveness)
3) Use: at 15
– 20 cm growth height
Objective: soil loosening before the plants close over the rows, optimal soil aeration until harvest
Squash
1) Use: cuttings and seeds at a growth height of 4 to 5 cm (light aggressiveness); cuttings
– approx. 14
days after planting (light aggressiveness)
2) Use: depending on beneficial weed pressure and soil conditions
