Cross Slot Openers® are the only True One Pass Low Disturbance No-Tillage (LDNT) System in the World!!

What sets us apart from the rest?

CARBON SESQUESTATION

  • Cross Slot® LDNT is Carbon postive,
  • Caputuring 500kg/ha (500lb/ac) carbon from the atmosphere and puts it back into the soil while feeding the world

  • Seed on one side, fertilizer placed simultaneously on opposite side
  • Residue folded back over the slots conserving both liquid soil moisture and humidity in the soil air within the pore spaces

  • Fertilizer separated from seed 10-20mm
  • Heavy residue is no problem, either standing, chopped or lodged
