Products
Pneumatic Seeders
The BEST-SELLER worldwide from APV
Powerful, reliable and robust - thanks to the sophisticated design, the Pneumatic Seeders can be mounted universally on virtually all soil tillage implements for combined applications.
Disc Spreader
Universal, flexible, affordable
The APV disc spreaders and Small Seed Spreaders are ideal for applying cover crops (e.g. mustard), grass seeds, undersown crops, slug pellets and similar granules.
Multi-Metering System
Multifunctional 2-in-1 seeders
With just a few steps, a disc spreader can be converted into a pneumatic seeder. This makes the Multi-Metering Systems from APV flexibly applicable for cover crops, slug pellets, seeds and much more.
Carrier systems
Front and rear versions
Ideal for the flexible use of our seeders without having to mount them on the soil tillage implements. We offer versions for front and rear applications.
APV technology is used wherever seeds, cover crops, undersown crops or granules need to be applied precisely and efficiently. Whether disc spreaders, split hoppers for seeds and fertiliser, smart pneumatic seeders with ISOBUS, Section Control, Variable Rate Control or manual section control, we offer the right solution for every operation.
The focus is on reliable metering, clean distribution and the sensible integration into existing operations in order to save resources, diesel and time.
Choose the right APV solution for your area of application and your operational requirements. Depending on the material, carrier vehicle, working width and desired application, different machine concepts are available to you.
We would be happy to offer you an initial, FREE consultation with one of our product specialists.
Typical applications for APV seeding and spreading technology:
Applying cover crops during soil tillage
Integrating undersown crops into existing cultures
Implementing reseeding efficiently
Metering seed mixtures precisely
Distributing granules and spreading materials uniformly
Multiple use of the Pneumatic Seeder on the farm
Not every application
requires the same solution
Which machine best fits your operation depends on several factors: seeds or spreading material, spread rate, working width, carrier vehicle and area of application play a decisive role. Targeted advice helps you find the technically and economically suitable solution for your requirements.
Precise Application
as an important building block for soil, crop and operation
Correctly used seeding and spreading technology supports you in applying seeds and materials in a targeted manner, combining operations economically and reliably securing the effect of the measure. Especially in cover crop sowing, a precise and flexible solution creates the basis for more efficiency and an effective contribution to soil protection.
The Soil
Your soil will thank you if you take good care of it. Soil cover and erosion protection are the top priorities. By using cover crops, your crop rotation is loosened up and soil life is activated. By choosing the right plant species, compaction can be broken up and the soil can be supplied with nitrogen - this increases soil fertility enormously. Save yourself an additional pass with the seed drill and apply your cover crops with the spreaders or Pneumatic Seeders from APV.
Cover cropping
Whether organic or conventional farming - when it comes to cover cropping, all farmers agree: it is worth it. By using cover crops, you promote soil health and soil fertility, allowing you to exploit the full potential of your soil.
Advantages of cover cropping:
- Suppression of weeds and pests (savings on crop protection products)
- Erosion-reducing effect through soil cover and improvement of the crumb structure
- Increase in biological activity and stimulation of soil life
- Promotion of the humus content through enrichment with easily degradable organic matter
- Green manure or production of animal feed
Undersown crops
An important use for cover crops is undersown crops. Here, too, the main focus is on soil cover to reduce erosion. The growth of the nurse crop and undersown crop should be coordinated so that they do not suppress each other. In cereal cultivation, clover-grass mixtures are often used, which are used as forage crops after the harvest of the main crop. In viticulture, on the other hand, mixtures of phacelia, buckwheat and chickling vetch are mostly used.
Since the soil is often uncovered for a longer period during maize cultivation, undersown crops also play a major role here. Soil displacement by wind, but also by water during heavy rainfall (especially on slopes), should not be underestimated. To counteract this erosion, grasses are often sown between the maize rows.
