This past fall our team gathered again at HQ in Rocky Mount, NC to prepare for the upcoming Virtual Trade Show season. We spent a few days together preparing new tools for both end users and our distribution and dealer networks to gain a deeper understanding and training into our solutions.
Cultural Solution
One Pass Soil Amendment Incorporation
Over the past 70 years Imants has developed and offered rotary spaders with working depths up to 50” and working widths from 3’ to 20’ specifically for agricultural and horticulture. With a working width of 7’ and a working depth of 6” to 13”, the Imants RotoSpader is designed for the turfgrass market. The RotoSpader enables incorporation or homogeneous blending of organics, compost, or soil amendments throughout the root zone mix in a simple one-step pass. The spading action of the RotoSpader does not destroy natural soil aggregation. This spading helps to increase the air and water porosity of the soil while creating a level and consolidated seed bed ready for seeding.
HIGHLIGHTS
- One pass soil amendment incorporation
- Creates a homogenous soil blend
- Preserves and enhances resulting soil structure over conventional Roto-tilling
- Increases the soil aeration porosity and internal drainage structure
- Provides level, consolidated seed bed
