Working the row spacing: the essential accessories

Inter-row tillage accessories play a crucial role in this process, ensuring that the soil is adequately aerated, free of weeds and prepared for optimum crop growth.

In the wide range of agricultural equipment, Zanon distinguishes itself for the innovation and reliable nature of its products.

In this article, we will explore the importance of inter-row tillage accessories and give a detailed overview of the main implements manufactured by Zanon.

The importance of tillage accessories

Tilling is a crucial activity that directly affects crop output. Using the right tillage accessories can make the difference between a poor harvest and a plentiful one. Tilling accessories help to:

- improve soil structure: tools such as blades, rototillers and harrows help break up the soil, improving its aeration and making it easier for plant roots to absorb water and nutrients.

- control weeds: tools such as the weeder disc and sucker kit are designed to effectively eliminate weeds without damaging crops.

- prepare the seed bed: tools such as the harrow and rototiller prepare the soil optimally for sowing, ensuring an even, well-structured surface.


Using suitable accessories for working the inter-row has several advantages. Firstly, it improves work efficiency, reducing the time and effort required for soil preparation. In addition, quality implements contribute to more precise tillage, ensuring that crops receive the right amount of nutrients and water. The use of appropriate attachments also helps reduce soil compaction and effectively control weeds, improving overall soil health and crop output.

How to choose the right attachments

Choosing the right attachments for inter-row cultivation depends on various factors, including the type of soil, the crops cultivated and the specific demands of cultivation. It is important to consider the depth of tillage required, the width of the inter-row and the type of crop residues present.
