Philipp Horsch, owner of Horsch Corporation
Horsch Corporation owner Philipp Horsch (opens in a new tab), speaking at the opening of the company’s central office in Ukraine, noted that the manufacturer is interested in tillage, sowing (precision seeding), fertilizer application, and logistics. Also organic farming. The company’s goal is to study technologies and offer ways to improve them.
We’re working on developments in precision application (including banded plant-protection application) and fast refilling. On the topic of sowing, I’ll note that a couple of years ago we developed two coulters, for direct seeding and traditional technology, that meet today’s requirements. We have several tools that ensure high sowing quality. There’s only one thing missing — automating seeding depth and seed-firming on the coulters. We’re working on that. I think in about a year we’ll demonstrate the first automated systems.

Right now, Horsch is working on two fronts in the seeding-machine metering-unit segment: a vacuum system and a pressure-feed system, both of which now equip every precision-seeding machine the brand makes.
