RESEARCH IN "PALM OIL" CONFIGURATION - LOW VOLUME PRECISION FARMING

The development of the new “Palm Oil” version transcends the best operational design on steel chassis, maneuverability, autonomy and variable volume with electrostatic charge.

This model Whirlwind M612 Turbo 2 Trainata of 1000L has been launched this month of July 2024 in Colombia, with the firm purpose of making an impact from an excellent technology by arranging the best configuration with operators, technicians and agricultural engineers and with the guidance of the excellent professional team of Martignani in Italy.

It allows to operate with only 200 l/hectare in plants up to 14 meters high and a distance between rows of 9 meters.

Martignani’s new “Palm Oil” configuration, the electrostatic fogger dedicated to very high performance treatments in oil palm plantations worldwide, allows to operate with only 200 l/hectare in plants up to 14 meters high and a distance between rows of 9 meters. with tractors of 90 HP range, available capacities from 600 to 3000 liters covering double lanes at average speeds of 3.5 to 4.5 Km/hour.

The physical adherence of the Active Ingredient is privileged, without surfactants, without wind drift and without dripping to the soil. Innovation generates the challenges and paradigms of the agriculture of the future, such as better management of water resources, since water will be agriculture’s greatest asset. Therefore, the range of terrestrial applications of synthetic or biological products, insecticides, fungicides, biostimulants, the incorporation of foliar fertilization and, as a novelty, the great possibility of contributing to Cenipalma’s new A.N.A. liquid artificial pollination project.

In Colombia, there have been 12 years of constant advances in this important crop, attending projects designed from the management in medium and large companies, type of crop Guineensis variety or Hybrid OxG, in variables such as age of the lots, planting distances, maximum height and excellent canopy coverage and biomass of the palm, according to the type of soil, relief, infrastructure, type of tractors available and functional training of teams of professionals, technicians and mechanics in the Plant Health Departments. Congratulations on the commitment to the principles of the European Union’s Green Pact by promoting Eco-environmental Precision Agriculture certified in Sustainability.
