Maschio Gaspardo DRACULA - Manual (Page 5)

Consolidation
The final tillage zone of Dracula is carried-out by
the rear ring roller that reconsolidates and firms
the seedbed.
An optimal reconsolidation is a key factor for
weed management for achieving quick seed
emergence, so that they can be controlled
mechanically or chemically. It is also good to
preserve soil moisture. Consolidating the soil/
residue mix helps bacteria break down residue. The consolidated surface also produces an
ideal seedbed, prevents erosion and creates a capillary effect to preserve moisture.
