GLS Grassland Subsoiler

Here are the key benefits of using a Sumo GLS subsoiler:

Improved Soil Structure:

Soil Compaction: The Sumo GLS subsoiler is designed to break up compacted soil layers, allowing roots to penetrate deeper and access essential nutrients and water. This leads to healthier and more pronounced plant growth.

Soil Aeration: By loosening the soil, the subsoiler improves aeration, promoting microbial activity and root respiration. This will enhance soil fertility and promotes plant health.

Water Management:

Drainage: The Sumo GLS subsoiler helps to alleviate waterlogging by creating channels for excess water to drain away. This is particularly beneficial in heavy clay soils or areas prone to standing water. Which is becoming more of an issue across the British Isles irrespective of what type of farming you are undertaking.

Increased Nutrient Availability:

Nutrient Redistribution: The actions of the subsoiler bring nutrients from deeper soil layers closer to the surface, making them more accessible to plant roots. This can reduce the need for additional fertilization.

Reduced Nutrient Loss: Improved soil structure and water infiltration minimize nutrient leaching, ensuring that essential nutrients remain available for plant uptake and indirectly helps improve water quality.

Enhanced Root Development:

Deeper Rooting: The Sumo GLS subsoiler promotes deeper root growth by breaking up compacted layers and allowing roots to penetrate further into the soil. Deeper roots can access more water and nutrients, leading to stronger and more resilient plants.

Improved Plant Health: Enhanced root development leads to healthier plants that are better able to withstand drought, disease, and pest pressures.

Increased Grassland Productivity:

Boosted Forage Yields: By improving soil conditions and plant health, the Sumo GLS subsoiler can lead to higher forage yields, providing more quantity and nutritious feed for livestock.

Extended Grazing Season: Improved drainage and soil conditions can extend the grazing season, allowing livestock to remain on fields for longer periods and reducing the need for supplementary feed.

Cost-Effective Soil Management:

Reduced Need for Chemical Inputs: By enhancing natural soil processes and nutrient availability, the Sumo GLS subsoiler can reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, leading to cost savings.

Long-Term Soil Health: Regular use of the subsoiler can maintain and improve soil health over time, leading to sustainable and more productive land use.

Versatility and Ease of Use:

Adaptability to Different Soil Types: The Sumo GLS subsoiler is designed to work effectively in a variety of soil types and conditions, making it a versatile tool for diverse farming operations.

User-Friendly Design: With adjustable working depth and robust construction, the Sumo GLS subsoiler is easy to operate and maintain, ensuring reliable performance and longevity.
