Example calculation for various part-width sections
Annual average overlaps of conventional part-width sections vs 50 cm part-width sections in combination with Section Control
Important knowledge for field analysis
- Average overlap with 50 cm part-width sections only 1.92 %
- Average overlap with 9 part-width sections 7 %
- Short payback period for large farms due to annual saving potential
- Due to smaller field sizes, smaller farms save proportionally more
- When growing crops with a high crop protection demand (e.g. potatoes, beet), the 50 cm part-width section is particularly cost-effective
