Innovative technical solutions used in a seeder for overseeding grasslands to improve the quantity and quality of feed for ruminants and protect soils, waters and climate
Description
a seeder for overseeding grasslands to improve the quantity and quality of feed for ruminants and protect soils, waters and climate
Sector
A1.5Mixed farming
Needs/ Problem statement
improvement of taste and nutritional properties of meat and dairy products, higher work efficiency thanks to simultaneous sowing of seeds and fertilizers, lower nitrogen losses to waters
Objective
The objective of the operation is to improve the efficiency of grassland overdrilling as well as improve the quality and amount of livestock fodder by means of new technological solutions in a seed drill, and use of herb species in seed mixes (alongside grasses and legumes). Soil, water and climate protection is a corollary objective.

Intended user
The impact of the operation will be particularly significant in regions of Poland (Podlasie and Lublin), with a large share of UZ in UAA as well as separate shares in organic soil. Nevertheless, the application of this operation will cover nationwide and European areas, primarily in countries with similar climatic conditions.
