On particularly wet plots, a narrow trench is dug before planting the crops in the opposite direction to the planting rows. This avoids crop damage and water accumulating on the surface of the soil Thanks to its depth, the trench remains intact and will promote drainage throughout the entire season.
The ZIBO disc ditch digger distinguishes itself compared to several other brands because the disc has independent bearings relative to the gearbox (see photos). This allows the gearbox to operate with no undue loading from the disc. For reliable performance the ZIBO disc ditch digger has been manufactured with a solid and stable frame.
Create infiltration trenches using the ZIBO (disc) Ditch Digger to capture runoff water and prevent pesticide runoff into surface water.
An infiltration trench is a narrow, shallow channel that runs parallel to a ditch. Instead of discharging water directly into the ditch, it first flows through this trench. This process breaks down pesticide residues, contributing to improved water quality. To enhance the process, it can be accelerated by filling the trench with compost.
Infiltration trenches reduce the leaching and runoff of pesticides, especially during wet periods. In this way, you actively contribute to cleaner water!
