Its staggered grain placement in a twin row provides 70 % more space to the plant than conventional systems for a better growth. Up to 87 cm wide tramlines are another advantage of the Azurit, especially as the number of plants remains constant. One of the two twin rows can be deactivated and while the seeding rate for the other twin row is doubled.
