Retaining nutrients and equally valuable topsoil are two very good reasons why under-sowing maize is becoming a more popular option. And as the practice increase, so too does the number of specialist machines such as the Landwrx Inter Seeder which we take a look at here. But what else can it do?

Across certain parts of Europe it has become mandatory in recent years to establish a green cover under maize to reduce watercourse pollution and limit topsoil erosion. And although not yet compulsory, the practice of under-sowing maize with a catch-crop is becoming increasingly popular in parts of the UK and Ireland.
