6. Cost-effectiveness of tillage

The cost-effectiveness of tillage for maize and wheat on typical farms from the world’s leading arable farming regions will be shown. What are the differences between Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Germany, France, Poland, Russia, UK, Ukraine and the USA? What effect does cost-effective tillage have on the overall yield? What happens when the prices change?

7. Arable soils of the earth – Europe

Arable soils are precious, for only 3 % of the total surface of the planet can be used as arable land. Walk-over soil maps will show the most important arable soils of North and South America, Central and Eastern Europe. Presentation boards will provide informat ion about the soil properties essential for arable farming and describe the best options for use and farming. Sustainable management of the earth’s arable soils is an absolute necessity.

8. Soil-conserving tyres

How does a newly developed test rig for tyre pressure work? A complete model evaluates tyres and shows how different tyres distribute the soil pressure. You can follow measuring methods and test results via a monitor. 32,408 measuring points record the pressure conditions for the soil pressure at a depth of about 20 cm on a measuring film with an area of 1 m². Minute differences between the various tyre designs become visible.
