Tine-weeders are part of the mechanical weed control range,  they can be used on bare ground, pre-emergence and on the majority of crops at different stages.
The vibration of the tines destroys the surface of the soil and uproots young weeds
(stage white thread). The working depth is about 2 cm.

Sarclerse is used at two crucial moments in the crop: pre-emergence, where the working speed can reach 15 km / h and post-emergence, where speed must be adjusted according to the resistance of the crop with passage of tines. Ideally, the following days should be dry and sunny to dry the weeds torn off. It makes it possible to weed all the cultivated area.

The tine angle can be changed to alter the level of aggressivity to suit the crop type and growth stage in order to obtain optimum results.
The Sarclerse tine weeder is complementary with other mechanical crop weeding techniques, their effect of breaking up capping, and aeration, encourage crop development.

This implement has a low cost per pass, needs little maintenance and has a low power requirement in comparison to the working width. What’s more it provides very high work rates and therefore enables you to cover your land in a very short space of time.
Our range is designed for an optimal result with 1.50m elements mounted on pivot for perfect tracking of the ground.

Our frames are tested and approved on meadows.

It breaks up and displaces the soil surface thanks to the small spades that are on the outer edges of the wheels.

The spades extract the grass weeds including  their advanticious root system without damaging the crop.

The soil is aerated and grass weeds are eliminated as they dry out.

The rotary hoe is used on most of the crops (maize, rapeseed, wheat, beets, etc.).

It’s surface action helps the soil to warm up quickly thus improving plant growth.
With a working speed of 15 km/h the machine provides high work rates.
It is possible to work on plots in a very short time.

Interrow cultivation has been shown to be the solution, in most in line crop, for dealing
with adventitious weeds from 20cm interrow spacings.
Even if weed destruction is not complete, weeds are weaken limiting its future growth.
Hoeing, combined with an effective steering system, will provide precision work
with high work rates and increased operator comfort.
The pass with the hoe can be optimised by combining precision spraying equipment
to treat the row or apply liquid or solid fertiliser to it.
The quantities of chemicals required are  significantly reduced, as are losses due to evaporation and run off.
In addition to eliminate weeds and reduce the seed stock, the mechanical action of hoeing
on the soil reduces the presence of pests and the risk of diseases of the crop.
Its aeration action on the soil allows a good hygrometric exchange between the air and the soil thus favoring the development of the culture.
Soil capping is eliminated, therefore reducing water run-off and erosion whilst encouraging mineralisation due to improved microbial activity.
It is a sound agricultural practice that improves the soil surface, water penetration,
and root development thanks to soil shattering.
Nowadays it is possible to hoe at a steady speed of around 8 to 10 km/h.
It also gives the opportunity to  apply spray or place fertiliser precisely
leading to important savings.
