Sturry Machinery’s innovative Deep Ripping & Optimal Placement System (DROPS) tackles constrained soils by combining deep ripping with precision placement of amendments directly where they are needed, including:
​
-
Carbon granules
-
Lime/gypsum granules
-
Granule or liquid nutrients
Subsoil constraints like acidity, compaction and low water holding capacity cost millions annually in lost production, quality and yield.
This approach can save time & fuel and extend the time between deep ripping, while enhancing soil structure and fertility, leading to healthier plants and increased yield potential.
Get below the surface and address the problems not just the symptoms.
​
THE GREEN AG ADVANTAGE
Combine high quality granules and amendments, the DROPS machine and in-season soil monitoring for the complete solution.
