must in no case remain on the surface! Tume Nova Combi may be provided with earthing disks,
which ensure seed occultation.
In direct sowing special significance is given to the herbicide. Practice has shown that an annual
glyphosate spraying with a reduced dose, either just before sowing or immediately after sowing
before sprouting can keep the couch grass reasonably in check. Over the years, weeds may,
however, become eutrophic, for example in hay growths. These should be fought with the
available chemical products and, if necessary, using plant alternation or fallowing. The light soils
with moisture conditions, which very suitable for direct sowing, are in terms of weeds, the worst.
When direct sowing is used, the crops should be monitored more carefully than usual, also in
terms of diseases and pests. Control measures should be taken, if necessary when the
thresholds are exceeded
Sowing into a minimally cultivated soil
Tume Nova Combi is also extremely suitable for sowing into a minimally cultivated soil. For
minimal cultivation, machinery leaving an even, suitably fine and compressed track should be
used and where working depth can be adjusted to an adequate accuracy.
Minimum tillage occurring just before sowing should at least be done in the soils with clay
composition and to a somewhat shallower depth than the sowing. This will ensure that the
moisture content at a depth of sowing can be retained.
Considering spring sowings the recommended minimum tillage method is to a tillage in the fall to
a depth of 10-12 cm, and plant residues mix in the surface soil, and do not form an insulating
layer on the surface. This method allows to start the normal sowing early in the spring, which is
important especially in countries where the growth time is short. With Tume Nova Combi a spring
sowing straight to the soil is possible, which has received a light tillage during the fall. If desired,
during the time of planting a light tillage of the surface can be done by combining to the unit a
Tume Cultipack-interim processing device.
Sowing in normally tilled soil
Seedbed preparation should be carried out at low depth, especially in clay soils lower than the
sowing depth. This is to ensure a better conservation of moisture at a depth of sowing.
In the weighting of coulters a low weighting must be used, especially on light soils.
Equipping the Nova Combi till seed drill Tume CultiPack with interim processing device the
sowing can be done directly to a plowed field, and no other tilling are required.
Tire equipment in machines moving on the field
In fields where direct sowing is carried out, one should pay attention to the preservation and
improvement of the soil structure, so that the water economy works. Additionally, the surface
should be as smooth as possible.
Movement in the field should be done only with tires with a sufficiently low surface pressure and
the axle loads should be as low as possible. Additionally, movement on fields should be avoided,
if the weather conditions are wet.
