Agronomic Benefits:

Restores Soil Structure
Deep loosening breaks pans and improves root penetration, water movement, and nutrient uptake.
Residue Management
Discs chop and mix residues back into the soil, speeding decomposition and returning organic matter.
Improves Drainage
By opening vertical fissures, the Rippa reduces waterlogging and supports earlier drilling.
Supports Soil Biology
Residue cover, combined with deep loosening, creates conditions that encourage worms, fungi, and microbial activity.
One-Pass Efficiency
By combining subsoiling, mixing, and levelling, the Rippa reduces fuel, time, and machinery wear while delivering a high-quality finish.
