The Novag T concept
The Novag T concept
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 shoes, which place the seed and fertilizer separately to the side.
Advantages of the T-slot:
The no-till standard
Straw, catch crops and harvest 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.
Hardly any ground movement
No wrong movement! The combination of the disc and the very narrow shape of the seed shoes 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.
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.

The software for setting and controlling all functions has been developed and optimized directly by Novag. The 7-inch monitor displays all important machine functions clearly and comprehensibly – from automatic depth control and tramline control to the application rate of several seeds and fertilizers. All essential settings for sowing can be made directly from the tractor cab. The openers can be adjusted either by touchscreen, via the tractor’s multifunction lever or manually using the joystick if required.
A lot of pressure, but intelligent

The large hopper of the Novag machines is divided and reliably separates seed and fertilizer. The contents can be distributed flexibly over any number of rows, and the chamber layout is adjustable. Two optional Auxiliary bins at the rear allow the application of fine seeds, slug pellets or special fertilizers and up to four different products can be applied simultaneously – e.g. two crops, fertilizer and slug pellets. All hoppers are precisely controlled by a hydraulic system. This provides constant performance, even at low speeds – without overheating or loss of torque. Ideal for mixtures with different quantities and seed sizes. The electronic calibration process is quick and easy – just as modern no-till technology demands.
