Functional Properties of Cultivator
The drive of the feed pump is solved mechanically from the land carrying wheel. The batch is
set by a combination of the chain wheel on the drive and driven shaft of the pump. The location of
hydraulic piston-rods is designed originally within the frame of the machine for an easy alteration
between the transport and working positions. Two independently mounted swivel travelling
wheels on offset axle pivots are used for the transport, thus allowing automatic control of the
machine during transport.

Technological Utilization of the Machine
The cultivation of maize is becoming more and more important in the primary industry thanks
to the modern hybrids producing high yield of grains. The energetic potential of maize in MJ x ha
-1
is grossly 30% higher than that of winter wheat. That and other qualities of this crop require a
modern approach to the cultivation technology.
On top of the selection of a suitable hybrid, the quality of sowing, the protection of growth and
particularly the nutrition of growth have a significant effect on the crop.
KULTIS is a gentle and precise application of the liquid form of nitrogen (DAM) in batches
that the plant actually uses and that have no effect on the environment. It is applied directly into
the soil to the plant roots. It is also possible to apply various liquid mixtures, including micro-
nutrients, according to the current condition of nutrients in the soil. Furthermore, the row crop
cultivation effectively removes the soil crust and aerates soil in the inter-rows, which has a
demonstrably positive effect on the development of vegetation. Such an operation prevents
unproductive evaporation of moisture in inter-rows. The KULTIS 8 cultivator perfectly fulfils all
those aspects in the technology of maize and sunflower growth nutrition.
The results of measurements taken by the company producing maize seeds (LG) show that
the yield of corn with the zone application of fertilizer into soil almost doubles per 1kg of applied
nitrogen when compared with the standard fertilizing method (see graph in the KULTIS 8 leaflet).
