Overview

The most efficient time to place fertilizer is during the planter pass, but many planter nitrogen attachments are bulky, messy, and high-maintenance. Conceal is a planter fertility attachment that is cleanly tucked into the row-unit and places nutrition in the soil 3 inches away from the seed

Broadcast Applications Are Ineffecient

Broadcasting nitrogen before planting is an inefficient means of getting fertility to the plant.  We only plant a row every few feet, so why spread fertilizer evenly across the entire field?  A more efficient way to place fertilizer is to band the fertilizer in the row, just like we place the seeds.  Banded nutrients can reduce the total amount of needed fertility by up to 30% while maintaining the same yield level.  These banded nutrients should also be placed under the soil surface where they will stay in the soil, instead of being prone to volatilization when spread on top of the soil surface.

Plants Need Fertilizer While They Are Growing Conceal Plantneeds 1050x600

We’ve inserted tungsten carbide wear tips that prevent the double-disk opener from wearing through the tip of the seed tube.
Plants don't need fertilizer when the seed is still in the bag, they need the fertilizer while they are growing.  This means it needs to be available for the roots to uptake in the most important times of the plant's life.  In the case of nitrogen and corn, that first important time is from V4-V8 while the plant is determining the maximum size of ear that it can produce.  Nitrogen needs to be readily available to the crown roots of the plant during this stage in order to maximize the yield that can be produced by that plant.  A band of nitrogen placed under the soil surface will move down the soil profile with rains that occur after planting and will be a few inches deep, right where crown roots can get it when they need it.

 

Conceal Puts Nitrogen Where it Should Be

Conceal is a simple nutrient placement device that places fertilizer in a band, incorporated into the soil, where the plant will be able to get those nutrients during the critical ear set stage.  Conceal can be utilized to put either a single or a dual band of nutrients down beside the row.  Conceal is a combination of a gauge wheel which has a groove in it, and a knife running in the groove.  The knife is guided by the gauge wheel so that placement is always the same distance from the seed.  Since the knife is mounted to the front of the row unit, it does not interfere with the critical function that the gauge wheel plays: consistent and proper seeding depth.  Conceal almost can't be seen on the row unit, tucked away inside the gauge wheel, where it does it's job without increased row unit length or bulk that typically comes with nitrogen attachments.

Consistent Placement Around Every TurnConceal Placementchart 1050x600

Why is Conceal the most conistent way to place nitrogen with the planter?  It's all in the design of the knife running beside the seed, in the groove of the gauge wheel.  Since the knife is placing the fertilizer directly beside the seed and not in front of or behind the seed, the distance from the fertilizer to the seed is always consistent.  Also, since the knife is running in conjunction with the gauge wheel, it will be placing the fertilizer at a consistent depth relative to the seed.  Around curves, over uneven seedbeds, and on each row, the fertilizer is always where it needs to be relative to the seed.

Beansprecision planting Conceal

Beans have sometimes been treated like a weed, but research is showing that managing consistent emergence and spacing of beans can lead to improved yields and reduced seeding rates. Precision Planting provides a complete suite of tools to plant your beans earlier and more accurately than in the past.

Peanuts Peanuts GA

Row overlap during planting makes it troublesome for diggers at harvest time. You can easily manage row-by-row shut off when you use Precision Planting technology and you’ll reduce your spend on extra seed. You can even eliminate a sprayer pass when you apply insecticides/nematicides while planting with the same technology.

Corn 20150928 PrecisionHarvest MG 4489

You face multiple decisions throughout the corn growing season. Precision Planting technology helps make those decisions easier with in-cab data to allow you to make better decisions in the moment. This technology powers systems that control population, downforce, liquid application, multi-hybrid planting, and high-speed planting, all while sensing the furrow.

Cotton Cotton

Getting a well-emerged stand of cotton is imperative to getting both yield and quality at harvest, but current planting equipment limits a cotton seed’s ability to emerge well. Precision Planting products ensure that your seed population, depth, and environment is perfect, giving each seed the opportunity to emerge, grow, and thrive.

Sugarbeets Sugarbeets

It’s no secret that sugarbeets do not endure stress well. Precision Planting technology takes away some of the burdens by providing consistent spacing, depth, and seed-to-soil contact. A more uniform stand at harvest means more sugar with less waste during topping and lifting.

Sunflowers Sunflowers2

Meters are not one size fits all for sunflowers, but performance of singulation and spacing is key for consistent head size. That’s why we’ve designed and offer multiple seed disks to plant your sunflowers consistently and offer technology to avoid delays in emergence for your sunflowers.
