The Austrian family business Einböck is considered a pioneer in mechanical crop maintenance: a segment that is becoming increasingly important not only in organic farming, but also in conventional farming. For this technical inspection, the manufacturer has provided us with its latest hoeing and weeding tools: the high-end CHOPSTAR-PRIME row-crop cultivator and the high-end AEROSTAR-FUSION tined weeder. Modern agricultural machinery like these offers great comfort of use and increases striking force and precision during mechanical weeding. This makes their use interesting even on large areas, and not only in organic farming. Conventional farms are also increasingly using these alternative tools to reduce chemical phytosanitary treatments. This is perhaps the middle way, the clever combination of both worlds – Einböck speaks of “Fusion Farming” – that will be necessary in the future to secure yields and sustainably supply the world’s population with high-quality food.
