Fixed rate
THE PERFECT MATCH BETWEEN CONTROL, QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY
Fixed rate input application is the key-stone of Precision Farming. Once the target application rate has been set for a plot or environment, precision farming equipment makes prescription applications quick, easy and error-free by a highly accurate dose control. Now you can easily perform controlled applications without costly farming consultancy, thus reducing application costs.

The Fixed rate Fertil software powered by Verion allows for input applications of ultimate precision with enhanced benefits for the culture. It can easily be fitted to a range of machines for solid, powdered or liquid applications in the marketplace. It allows you to make quick dose adjustments depending on speed variations, ensuring even applications of the prescribed rate.
The operator is free to change speeds, since the system powered by Verion automatically adjusts input rate, which results in enhanced productivity, reduced equipment wear and even lower fuel consumption.

- Automatic application rate control cuts costs, grants less tractor wear and fuel consumption savings, since the operator does not need to speed up to keep constant application rate on slopes and under challenging soil conditions.
- On even areas, the operator may speed up for an improved Ha/h output without any changes in the set application rate.
- Empty or full device weight always impacts on tractor speed and so does on the applied dose. However, with Fertile Variable Rate this is no longer a problem, thanks to automatic application rate.
