Elimination of weeds at the level you expect, but not only...

Due to new environmental standards, our customers now require a broader range of tools for mechanical weed control. Additionally, climate change is leading to increased crusted soil in certain regions. Breaking up this surface crust is essential for enhancing aeration and facilitating water infiltration, which is necessary for crop growth. The MATRIX rotary harrow is designed for inter-row and maintenance soil cultivation. Besides mechanical weed control, it serves various field tasks, such as breaking up crusted soil, mixing fertilizer, grassland care, and ultra-shallow stubble cultivation. The machine is known for its high work efficiency per hectare, with low fuel and working element consumption. It is recommended to conduct harrowing operations under strong sunlight conditions, as weeds without roots cannot continue to grow. Furthermore, the work breaks up and loosens crusted soil layers. An additional benefit is the aeration of the soil with oxygen and nutrients, creating an optimal substrate for plant growth in the early development phase. The MATRIX star harrow is also effective for mixing slurry or fertilizers and modern stubble processing.





Construction ensuring optimal work performance

Each pair of stars is amortized individually with a spring, allowing the machine to adapt to any field unevenness across its working width. The ability to tilt the stars ensures smooth operation of the MATRIX rotary hoe. Each forged arm suspended on the frame holds two stars connected by a tandem suspension. The arm design prevents stones from getting jammed between it and the weeding stars. Each arm is pressed by a spring system. The copying wheels, mounted close to the frame, allow for optimal terrain adjustment. In row crop cultivation, by digging up the space and pulling out weed roots, the soil surface is freed to absorb more moisture and water from dew and rain. The rotary harrow is ideal for removing small weeds and loosening crusted or compacted soil to support germination. The machine is suitable for all crops: corn, grain, rapeseed, soybeans, and others. MATRIX rotary harrows offer effective crop care and high efficiency per hectare with low wear of working tools.

















Also suitable for ultra-shallow post-harvest cultivation

Simple design and technical solutions ensure the harrow's easy operation. The machine sets up quickly and straightforwardly, with few adjustment points to reduce operating errors. Self-sharpening, reinforced star tips provide an even and aesthetic work effect. The refined angle of the stars protects crops while removing small weeds. Forged star arms maintain consistent spacing of working elements. After using the MATRIX rotary hoe, a layer of loose soil remains on the surface, destroying capillary percolation responsible for water evaporation. This also improves water and air relations in the soil. The harrow is suitable for pre-sowing weeding and ultra-shallow stubble cultivation. Effective work requires speeds of 10 km/h to 25 km/h. Operating the machine creates optimal conditions for the growth of self-sown crops and weeds. MATRIX is designed for use in both conventional and simplified cultivation. Its high working speed with low power requirements ensures timely procedures at low costs.

Tillage stars

Star discs with a 540 mm diameter, featuring 16 aggressive tips, effectively work the soil while protecting cultivated plants. The individual suspension of the discs ensures optimal adaptation to field unevenness across the entire working width. MATRIX star harrows excel in fields with substantial organic mass. The specially designed star shape allows the working elements to uproot soil clumps and weeds, which then land on the surface and are desiccated by the sun. The wear-resistant, self-sharpening star tips, with an 18 mm width, protect crops through optimal angle settings. The shape of the star tip ensures maximum efficiency, as the harrow penetrates the soil, loosens it, and eliminates unwanted plants. The soil is disturbed to a maximum depth of 40 mm. The rotating action protects the cultivated plants and minimizes losses. The speed of operation influences the process's aggressiveness; increased speed results in shallower working depth and enhanced protection for crops during weeding.
The desired effects of the work stars are evident even at a speed of 25 km/h. This speed, combined with large working widths, ensures very high daily efficiency per hectare of crops, resulting in high overall efficiency.

Objectives of mechanical weed control

The primary objective of mechanical cultivation is to facilitate the growth of cultivated plants. It is essential to minimize competition between plants and weeds. A significant weed infestation can result in the following effects:
- Decrease in yields
- Contaminated crops
- more difficult and more costly harvests.

The MATRIX rotary harrow effectively reduces production costs. Its application ensures mechanical weed control, soil crust loosening, and the incorporation of fertilizers into the soil.





The effects of mechanical weed control

Utilizing the MATRIX rotary hoe can achieve diverse work effects:
- Crushing of the crusted soil. The harrow, by locally penetrating the ground, ensures mechanical crushing of its top layer. This aerates the soil, enhances water absorption, and improves the mineralization process
- Uprooting unwanted plants. Weeds are removed and placed on the surface of the field to dry
- Scattering the weeds and completely covering them with soil. Limiting access to light contributes to the rotting of the weeds.





Ultra-shallow cultivation

The challenges posed to farmers by the changing climate and the new EU Common Agricultural Policy guidelines have led to the increasing popularity of ultra-shallow cultivation tools in Poland. Rolmako is adapting to these new conditions by offering a comprehensive range of soil cultivation machines. Every unwanted plant in the field represents a loss of valuable water, which is crucial during dry seasons. As crops increasingly suffer from drought, it is essential to prevent plantation overgrowth. Weeds and volunteers plants compete for water, light, space, and nutrients. Limiting their presence should be a priority from the moment of harvesting the previous crop. Failure to provoke early weed germination will result in serious issues for the next crop. Using MATRIX rotary hoe, rapeseed and weed seeds germinate quickly because they are placed shallowly in the soil. Germinated volunteer and weed seeds can be destroyed in subsequent mechanical procedures, a return to proven methods. This approach reduces the use of chemical plant protection agents and promotes the widespread use of integrated protection methods. Machines for ultra-shallow cultivation are increasingly popular among farmers, including those who employ no-plough technology.
