360 Y-Drop

Precision Agriculture

Description

In today's tight market, managing input costs is critical. Nitrogen is typically the second most expensive input. Getting the most efficiency out of this investment is critical. Lowering nitrogen use efficiency from 1.0 to 0.7 can have a huge impact on profitability.

360 Y-DROP lets you wait for your final application so you can adjust rates to match the crop's needs. Wet. Dry. Ideal. You supply only what the plants need - protecting yield potential and reducing overall nitrogen costs.

Key Features

Timing and Placement Matter: Corn plants use 75% of their nitrogen after V10. By replenishing the soil's nitrogen supply later in the season, you can apply just enough to reach your yield goals. Unlike traditional coulter sidedress systems, 360 Y-DROP extends the application window by more than 30 days, from V6 to VT.

Optimized Nitrogen Placement: More than 60% of a corn plant’s nitrogen is absorbed within seven inches of the stalk base. 360 Y-DROP places nitrogen right at the base of the plant, ensuring nearly 80% of the root mass is within the application zone.

Adjustable Arms for Precision Placement: Four-position adjustable arms enable precise nitrogen application in 15-inch to 36-inch rows, adapting to various row spacing needs.

Customizable Variable Rate Nozzles: Variable rate nozzles allow for precise control of application rate, timing, and placement to optimize nitrogen efficiency.

Durable and Flexible Design: Breakaway mounting brackets and a flexible riser allow for smooth navigation over hills and uneven terrain, reducing the risk of damage.

Stable and Accurate Delivery: Curved hoses follow the corn rows without excessive movement, ensuring nitrogen is delivered directly to the soil rather than onto stalks or leaves.

Protective Shielding: A built-in shield prevents leaves from wrapping around the riser or hoses, maintaining consistent application and reducing interference.
