Cultivators are particularly useful for vegetable farms, organic farms, and other farms growing row crops.
NIVA-TOP Cultivators adaptable to different crops and farm needs. You can choose between the ZSA inter-row cultivators, designed for precise mechanical weeding, or the ZSC furrow cultivators, which perform several furrow maintenance operations in a single pass.
NIVA-TOP ZSA Inter-row Cultivators Designed for the care of corn, sugar beets, brassica vegetables, and other row crops. They mechanically remove weeds between plant rows, loosen the soil, and improve air circulation to the plant roots. This helps reduce the use of herbicides and the need for manual weeding.
You can choose 2 to 19 rows ZSA cultivator. The row spacing can be adjusted from 20 to 80 cm, and in specially designed models, up to 150 cm. Quick-release mechanisms make it easy to change the layout of the working sections and adapt the machine to different crops.
One of the most important features that sets ZSA apart is— Precise tracking of crop rows. Cultivators can be equipped with a hydraulic steering system that is controlled manually or automatically using a 2D or 3D camera. This allows for precise operation close to the plants and reduces the risk of damaging them.
NIVA-TOP ZSC Furrow Cultivators Designed for the care of potatoes, carrots, parsley, and other crops grown in furrows. They not only mechanically remove weeds but also loosen the sides and bottom of the furrows, build up the soil, and restore the furrows to their proper shape.
Modular ZSC Design allows four different operations to be performed in a single pass. First, the soil is tilled close to the plants; then the sides and bottom of the furrows are loosened; next, the soil is repeatedly piled up on the sides of the furrows; and in the final stage, the furrows are leveled and compacted. This reduces the number of individual passes required for furrow maintenance.
For precise work close to plants, working sections mounted on a frame that can be moved hydraulically from side to side are used. Support wheels help maintain a consistent working depth, while the angled discs till the sides of the furrows to a depth of just 1–3 cm. Spring-loaded tines loosen the bottom of the furrows, thereby eliminating weeds in different areas of the furrow.
ZSC row cultivators are available in models ranging from 3 to 9 rows. Quick-release mechanisms make it easy to adjust the layout of the working parts, allowing the same equipment to be adapted to different crops grown in furrows and their specific care requirements.
