Cross Slot is technology that provides an unrivalled world class no-till seeding system. The system lowers production costs for farmers, increases yields and improves environmental outcomes and lower fuel costs and emissions and makes more efficient use of scarce water resources. The Cross Slot no-tillage system reduces environmental damage from fertilizer run-off due to its unique ability to band
fertilizer in the ground next to the seed where it optimizes emergence and yields. The Cross Slot no-tillage system also reduces CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and improves the ability of micro-organisms to absorb carbon into the soil, thereby improving soil health, soil quality, soil structure and crop yields. The Cross Slot technology works in all seeding environments including sod, sod renovation, CRP takeout, small grains (alfalfa, canola, clover), medium grains (wheat, barley, oats) through to large grains (corn, soy beans, peas, sunflowers). The Cross Slot technology is simple, but powerful in the hands of any farmer. The technology has been field proven for many years in New Zealand and the USA (at Washington State University, North Dakota State University and Oregon State University). The Cross Slot system already operates successfully in all types of soils, climatic conditions and for a wide range of crops in the USA (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, North Dakota, Alaska, Kansas, Montana, Illinois and Colorado) and over 17 countries around the world. In some countries the Cross Slot system has successfully resulted increasing yields by more than 100% compared to conventional tillage.
