Visit of the German Minister of Agriculture Cem Özdemir at crop.zone

Hannover, Germany – Today, crop.zone had the honor of welcoming the German Minister of Agriculture, Cem Özdemir, to their booth at AGRITECHNICA. He showed great interest in sustainable alternatives to glyphosate and was impressed by the innovative solution that crop.zone offers.

crop.zone’s technology, the Hybrid Herbicide Technology, represents a revolutionary advancement in plant control. It combines the high performance of Volt.Cube, the enormous working widths of Volt.Apply, and the efficiency of Volt.Fuels to provide an effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional desiccation methods. This technology allows for the gentle, rapid, and efficient elimination of plant stocks, ranging from desiccation for harvest preparation to weed control.

The process begins with the generation of electric power in the Volt.Cube, which is powered by a power take-off (PTO) generator. This power, which can reach voltages of 1000 to 5500 V, is then channeled through specially designed applicators (Volt.Apply). Plants are first treated with the residue-free liquid Volt.Fuel to increase their conductivity. Subsequently, the electric current passes through the plants, severely disrupting their water supply, causing them to dry out and die.

Minister Özdemir was particularly impressed by the efficiency and sustainability of crop.zone’s technology. The ability to ensure residue-free plant control that is both environmentally friendly and effective represents a significant advancement in precision agriculture. crop.zone is proud to offer such an innovative solution that not only conserves the environment but also helps farmers secure their harvests at competitive prices.

The Minister’s visit underscores the importance and potential of crop.zone’s technology as a forward-looking alternative to conventional pesticides. crop.zone looks forward to further developing this technology and making a positive contribution to sustainable agriculture.
