"Traction and soil protection" meeting point
Soil protection through the right technology - how can this be realised? How do you achieve more area coverage with less slippage and flatter tracks, with lower diesel consumption? You will receive answers to these questions during the demonstrations at the "Traction and soil protection" meeting point.
Discuss the pros and cons of tyre pressure regulation systems with our traction experts, for example, and find out what you should bear in mind when buying tyres or choosing the right tyre pressure.
"Proper soil protection is good climate protection"
The South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences, together with the Young DLG Soest, will be giving several daily demonstrations of the benefits of variable tyre pressure on fields, meadows and roads. Equipped with a new tyre pressure control system, you can experience how variable tyre pressure improves the real right of way, reduces track depth and slip, and saves approx. 10% diesel. There will also be advice on the 30% subsidy offer for retrofitting to existing tractors or for new purchases. The experts will be on hand to answer your questions about which manufacturers of tyre pressure control systems are available, which retrofit solutions are on offer, what they cost and what advantages they have.
Demonstrations and advice at the "Traction and Soil Protection" meeting point: daily at 9.30, 11.30, 14 and 16 hrs; stand number: GD01
What influence does soil compaction actually have on plant growth?
Experience the influence that driving over soil with heavy vehicles or incorrect air pressure can have on root growth and yield. Take a look into the soil with us and we will show you a damaged, compacted soil structure in comparison to the fertile soil in a barley plot.
Tyre tests explained!
The DLG Test Centre for Technology and Farm Inputs, together with the Agricultural Engineering Department at Kiel University of Applied Sciences, shows the methods used to test agricultural tyres. Take a look at the results of the current DLG tyre tests or find out about other DLG specialist media, for example on the subject of soil and resource protection and currently tested fertiliser limes.
Sensor technology to prevent soil compaction
The partners of the BonaRes research project SOILAssist (funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research) show which parameters have an influence on the development of soil compaction. Intuitive online learning tools for young professionals in agriculture and contractors as well as for career changers will be presented. Visitors can also find out about an online software tool for calculating site-specific trafficability days and discuss its applicability with experts from the research project. A tyre exhibit will be used to present sensor technology developed in the BonaRes SOILAssist project, which is used to optimise machine parameters and driving routes in the field in order to avoid soil compaction.
