Since May 1st, the Pichon and Samson brands have expanded their product lines with two models of disc incorporator (CDf & CDx) and a new model of disc injector (IDs). The TSB trailing shoe boom range, launched at Agritechnica in late 2023, has been extended with the TSB2 models 15-18-21m, while Pichon introduces TSB1 7,5 and 9m. These new application technique enhance the existing ranges and offer significant innovations for users. Starting this fall, each brand will communicate more precisely and individually about these new tools.
Brown gold at your fingertips
For several years, SAMSON AGRO has been educating its clients on the importance and methods of utilizing the nutrients found in slurry and manure. Optimal nutrient use is essential not only to ensure sustainable soil fertility but also to maximize crop yields. “The choice of equipment behind a slurry tanker is crucial. Our state-of-the-art equipment, designed for surface application, injection, and incorporation, ensures maximum nutrient absorption by plants. This approach improves soil health and productivity while reducing ammonia emissions, contributing to a cleaner environment,” says Christophe Marzin, Liquid spreading Products Manager. “By complying with current and upcoming European regulations, our tools, such as drip hoses booms, trailing shoes booms, injectors, and incorporators, enable precise and efficient use of organic fertilizers. This not only promotes better air quality but also helps agricultural fields reach their maximum potential while supporting sustainable and environmentally friendly farming,” adds Gabriel Lund, Product Marketing Manager.
Choosing injection or incorporation to minimize environmental impact
Driven by the Group’s dynamic, the Pichon and Samson brands have just launched a new injector model and two new incorporator models on the global market. The goal of these techniques is to minimize environmental impact through precise application that ensure better nutrient absorption into the soil. Odor emissions and ammonia losses are minimized. To achieve this, it is essential to choose the right application technique based on various criteria (soil types/crops, weather conditions, etc.). Injectors allow targeted application at the root level with minimal soil disturbance, which is ideal for grass and growing crops, focusing on nutrient efficiency and quality. Incorporators combine fertilization and soil preparation, optimizing the use of organic fertilizers in residential areas and preparing seedbeds for various agricultural contexts.
The IDs disc injector* offers an injection depth of up to 5 cm and a working width of 8 m. The combination of two conical discs with the cutting disc allows slurry to be applied to the heart of the furrow. Splashes are avoided, and the plant cover is protected.
The CDf Disc Incorporator* is designed to work on cluttered surfaces (plant debris, stubble, post-maize harvest), the CDf disc incorporator features two rows of discs: injectors and coverers, and is available in 4.5m and 6m versions. The first row of discs opens a furrow in the soil, and the diffuser applies the slurry. The second row covers the furrow.
The CDx disc incorporator* is available in an 8 m version. It is designed for use on heavy soils with large amounts of plant debris. Equipped with two rows of discs, its robust structure ensures durability and strength. A lateral star disc perfectly levels the soil surface, allowing immediate seeding after incorporation.
Two models of TSB trailing shoes booms for the needs of small and large farms
Unveiled as a preview at Agritechnica, the TSB trailing shoe boom is available in the TSB1 version (1 vertical distributor – working widths between 7.5 m and 9 m) under the Pichon brand and the TSB2 version (2 vertical distributors – working widths between 15 m and 24 m) under the Samson brand. In addition to the existing model, a new TSB2 15-18-21 m boom is now available. The TSB1 range has been developed to replace spreading with emissive materials such as splash plate. With its streamlined design, the TSB1 trailing shoe boom is highly maneuverable. It is ideal for for applying organic fertiliser on hilly terrain, and offers excellent contour following. The TSB2 range, on the other hand, is ideal for contractors and large farms. It offers the necessary adaptability to meet the most demanding agricultural tasks. Its reliable and flexible design is intended to maximize productivity. The working widths ensure excellent distribution and uniform lateral application of fertilizer under different conditions and on all types of soil. As an option on the TSB2 model, Samson offers the Active Contour System. This technology frees the boom wings to adapt effortlessly to the field’s contours. The boom design allows easy integration on all tankers, whether new or already in service.
