Last week the participants of the Crop Tour were busy in the fields. The onion growers have started to control the weeds. Several potato growers have started planting the chips potatoes or preparing the plot for the Innovators.
The grower has started planting his chips potatoes in Someren. the distance between the potatoes is approximately 31 centimeters in size 35-50. Planting is done with a cup planter.
The grower planted the plot in Cuijk. The planter does it all-in-one. As a result, the grower does not have to soil the soil later and build up the ridge better.
In Kimswerd, 2 herbicides were sprayed. Both herbicides are intended to control annual weeds so that they do not hinder the growth and development of the onion.
Wezup also sprayed with a herbicide. This herbicide is also intended for annual weeds. As you can see in the photo, the grower has been busy with enough LED light on the spray boom in the evenings.
In Ysselsteyn, a herbicide was also sprayed. This herbicide is intended to kill many weeds to the root. This makes it difficult for the weeds to come back and hinder the development of the onion.
In Ens, the grower has been working on the soil. Before the soil was worked, 30 m3 of pig slurry was applied to the plot. This plot is intended for French fries potatoes.
The grower from Appelscha has started planting his chips potatoes. In the photo you can see how the planter is filled. The telehandler has a double function. Not only does he fill the planter with potatoes, the telehandler also loosens the soil on the headlands.
On the photo of the grower from Dronten you can see that planting is taking place. The size of the potatoes is 35-45 and is planted with the belt system.
