Use and Maintenance
How should I prepare my land before using the MULTIPLOW? It is recommended that the land be cleared of large stones, logs and metals that could damage the equipment.
What is the recommended working depth for the MULTIPLOW?
It should be set between 30 and 45 cm deep depending on the type of soil and crop and the work to be performed.
How should I maintain my multi-plow to prolong its useful life? Despite the list of diverse tasks that the Multiplow performs, its maintenance is quite simple. The sharpening of the tips and blades is done by the movement of the equipment with the ground. Both parts must be reversed (or changed) before reaching their maximum point; for better penetration and movement of the equipment.
VERY IMPORTANT: Do not make turns with the tractor when the equipment is on the ground. The Multiarado should only be worked in a straight line to avoid damaging the equipment parts.
Why is this recommendation so important?
Component Stress: Turning with the equipment in the ground exerts lateral forces on the blades, chassis and other components of the multi-plow, which can cause:

Economic Benefits
Multi-Plow and Carbon: A Complex Relationship.
The technology used by Multi-Plow and Horizontal Cutting of soil layers involves removing and aerating the soil without exposing the soil’s organic matter. Therefore, Multi-Plow technology has direct implications on the Carbon Cycle and its capture in the natural sink.
Potential Positive Impacts: Increase in organic matter.
The use of the Multi-Plow incorporates crop residue into the soil, which naturally increases organic matter. Additional applications of organic matter to crops are better conserved in the soil and better utilized by crops. Organic matter acts like a carbon sink, capturing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it in the soil.
Improving soil structure.
According to the UN, 12 million hectares of productive land are lost every year. About 20% of degraded land is cultivated land and 30% to 25% is grassland. Desertification has a direct impact on agricultural production and therefore on food production.
Desertification is a global environmental problem caused by a combination of climatic and human factors. Human causes include deforestation, poor agricultural practices, overgrazing, and overexploitation of natural resources.
Maintaining and restoring soil structures damaged by poor agricultural practices is one of the challenges of today’s agriculture.
Effects of using MULTIPLOW HORIZONTAL CUTTING TECHNOLOGY in reducing negative effects on the tillage of agricultural soils.
Recovery and maintenance of the physical, chemical and biological structures of the soil.
MULTIPLOW technology acts efficiently in the recovery of structures damaged by poor agricultural practices used with Conventional Agriculture.
Bringing life back to the soil is essential to maintain fertility through the microorganisms that inhabit it. Soil organisms act as primary agents for driving the nutrient cycle, regulating the dynamics of soil organic matter, sequestering carbon in the soil and greenhouse gas emissions, modifying the physical structure of the soil and storing water and oxygen. Therefore, returning microflora to the soil is very important and decisive in maintaining the soil as a living being.
Importance of microorganisms for agriculture and soil life.
Microorganisms play a vital role in revising organic matter and cycling nutrients and water to our plants and crops. Decaying organic matter provides microorganisms with energy for growth and supplies carbon for the formation of new cells. As microorganisms help break down organic matter, they release essential nutrients and carbon dioxide into the soil, fix nitrogen, and help transform nutrients into mineral forms that plants can use through a process called mineralization. Additionally, as these microorganisms move through the soil, they aerate it, helping to improve drainage and soil structure.
Because of the role microorganisms play in the environment, “living soil” is one of the most valuable ecosystems on Earth, helping to regulate the climate, mitigate droughts and floods, and filter water.
A well-structured soil, the result of good tillage, retains water and nutrients better, promoting plant growth and increasing carbon capture through photosynthesis.
Impact of sustainable use of MULTIPLOW:
Minimum tillage: The frequency and depth of tillage is reduced, which helps conserve soil organic matter and reduce carbon emissions.
Vegetative cover: Horizontal cutting without inversion of soil structures favors the use of vegetal cover used between main crop cycles, helps protect the soil from erosion, increase organic matter and improve soil structure by incorporating it after use, forming a protective layer on top of the soil not allowing direct penetration of sunlight, carrying out progressive degradation and incorporating it by the action of soil microorganisms, enriching the organic matter present in the soil and thus capturing carbon.
The use of MULTI-PLATE Horizontal Cutting Technology is an essential technology in the preparation of agricultural soils.
Multi-Plow and its Environmental Benefits. Summary:
The MULTIPLOW, as a horizontal tillage tool, has gained ground in sustainable agriculture due to its multiple environmental benefits. Below, we will explore in detail how this technique influences the above-mentioned aspects:
Greater aggregate stability: By making horizontal cuts and minimizing soil inversion, the multi-plow helps maintain a more stable soil structure, increasing its resistance to erosion and extreme weather changes.
Higher organic matter content: By reducing the oxidation of organic matter in the soil, MULTIPLOW helps to increase its carbon content.
Humus formation: Organic matter slowly decomposes into humus, a stable, nutrient-rich substance that improves the soil’s ability to store carbon.
Emissions reduction: Horizontal tillage, such as that performed with the MULTIPLOW, reduces emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, by decreasing nitrogen mineralization in the soil.
Erosion reduction: By minimizing soil exposure to wind and water, MULTIPLOW helps prevent soil loss and desertification.
Improved water infiltration: Less compacted soil with a higher amount of organic matter has a greater capacity to absorb water, which reduces surface runoff and erosion.
Increased water infiltration: By improving soil structure, MULTIPLOW facilitates water infiltration, which helps leach salts and remove salinity.
Lower energy consumption: Horizontal tillage requires less fuel and energy compared to conventional tillage, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Lower pressure on the ground: The multi-plow exerts less pressure on the ground compared to other agricultural implements, which helps prevent compaction and improve soil aeration.
In summary, MULTIPLOW is a valuable tool for sustainable agriculture, as it contributes to improving soil health, reducing erosion, increasing carbon sequestration and decreasing the use of external inputs.
