T-SlotPlus: The key to successful no-till

The T-SlotPlus system from Novag ensures optimum seed placement and therefore reliable yields, even in difficult no-till conditions. The special T-slot shape is created by a vertical disc and two T-shaped angled Seed blades, which place the seed and fertilizer separately to the side.

Advantages of the T-slot:

Minimal soil disturbance protects against dehydration and reduces weeds.

The Slot is easy to close and keeps moisture on the seed.
Precise placement with optimum distance between seed and fertilizer.
Reliable sowing without Hairpinning – even with stubble or catch crops.

The no-till standard

Straw, catch crops and crop residues are central to soil-conserving agriculture, but pose a problem for conventional no-till drills: Blockages and poor seed-to-soil contact lead to yield losses.
Novag machines set new standards: even at high speeds, around 90% of the straw remains untouched. This saves time-consuming tillage, reduces costs and protects soil life – sustainably promoting soil improvement.

Water is lost with every soil cultivation

Hardly any ground movement

No disturbance! The combination of the disc and the very narrow shape of the Seed blades enables minimal soil movement.
Novag no-till drills work reliably even at high speeds. Around 90 % of the crop residues remain in place.
This superior handling of straw and catch crops is a decisive advantage in dry summers or during heavy rainfall – as well as for weed control.

The fertilization system – precise right from the start

Especially in spring, no-till can lead to nutrient deficiencies, especially nitrogen. Starter fertilizer is therefore crucial for successful plant establishment. With Novag technology, fertilizer is placed precisely next to the seed – at an optimum distance of 2-3 cm. The disc serves as a partition in the T-slot and protects the seed from burns – even with high fertilizer quantities.

Fertilization can be flexibly adapted to the location and crop. T-chambers of different depths also allow fertilizer to be placed directly under the seed. Liquid fertilizer or compost extracts can be applied directly via a stainless steel injection tube.

Reliable closure

The T-shape ensures a reliably closed Slot – on both light and heavy soils. Angled Press wheels close the Slot directly behind the disc, ensuring optimum soil contact and protecting the seed from drying out and bird damage – particularly important in dry conditions. The sowing depth can be flexibly adjusted from 1 to 8 cm, ideal for different crops and seed sizes – even in mixtures.

A screw on each opener can be individually adjusted to fine-tune the sowing depth.

Suitable for all soils

No-till requires flexibility – even within a field. Cutting discs and Press wheels must be optimally matched to each other. Wide Press wheels provide good depth control on light soils and are suitable for the transition phase to conservation agriculture. Narrow rollers ensure precise slit closure on firm, healthy soils. Seed blades and disc size can be adjusted – with T-SlotPlus technology, every soil situation can be mastered perfectly.

Novag supplies countless solutions for countless floor conditions.

Strong – Heavy-duty opener design

The solid construction of Novag coulter systems is designed for the toughest conditions.
Robust components and a stable frame ensure durability and consistent performance, even on stony or compacted soils.
All bearings are permanently lubricated (“greased for life”) – this means no regular maintenance and maximum reliability.
In addition, maintenance-free plain bearings made of composite material are used, which do not require any lubrication points.
This keeps the system permanently precise, strong and virtually maintenance-free.

Full control from the cabin

If the soil resistance changes, the requirements for the coulter pressure also vary.
The IntelliForcePlus system automatically adjusts the hydraulic pressure in the cylinder to ensure a constant closing force.

The parallelogram design of Novag coulter systems has more to offer than meets the eye.
This seemingly simple mechanism is crucial for precision, adaptability and unbeatable sowing performance.

Why a parallelogram for contour following?

The parallelogram keeps the T-blade point at the optimum cutting angle in every working area – for minimum soil disturbance at any sowing depth.

With 43 cm of vertical suspension travel, the system works effortlessly on uneven terrain.
Whether on a hill or a dip, the opener remains perfectly aligned, the sowing depth constant and the placement precise.

The special feature: Thanks to the geometry of the parallelogram, the pressure force remains constant, regardless of the angle of the arm.
This means that the machine delivers the same performance everywhere – on the hill and in the hollow, without any compromises.

IntelliForcePlus, automatic adjustment in real time

Cutting force + closing force

At the heart of the parallelogram design is the division of the hydraulic force (1) into two decisive components:

Cutting power (2) – reliably pushes the disc and opener through plant residues and hard soils to achieve the optimum depth.
Closing force (3) – ensures firm soil contact around the seed and thus ideal germination conditions.

The IntelliForcePlus automatic coulter pressure system takes control:

Loadpin sensors (4) monitor the closing force in real time. This keeps the sowing depth constant and the Slot optimally closed.
Adaptive pressure control: If the ground resistance changes, the system automatically adjusts the hydraulic pressure to ensure a constant closing force.

Always the right row spacing

Advantages of larger row spacing
- Less soil movement: Fewer openers in the soil means less disturbance and less weed germination – reducing the need for herbicides.
- Lower power requirement: Fewer openers reduce the tractive power requirement, diesel consumption and the load on the tractor. Machines with greater spacing can also be built more easily, which increases efficiency.
- Healthier crops: More space between the plants improves air circulation. Lower humidity reduces the risk of fungal and viral diseases and ensures more stable yields.
Advantages of closer row spacing
- Faster row closure: The crop closes the rows earlier, shades the soil and suppresses weeds later on. At the same time, evaporation is reduced and soil moisture is better retained.
- Higher yield potential: On fertile soils, closer spacing makes optimum use of the space and nutrients, resulting in higher yields.
