StalkBuster – A clever strike against the corn borer!
The 460pro StalkBuster harvesting header with four big gatherer drums and two intake drums is a sturdily built, no-nonsense machine. With its working width of 6.0 metres it fits perfectly into the KEMPER product range.Specially shaped flails to completely crush the stubbles.
Destroys the winter residence of the corn borer.
The stubble is the best overwintering home for the larvae. An intensive destruction of the stubble is very important.
According to the FAO the corn borer destroys 4% of the global maize cultivation area. This corresponds to the food requirements of approx. 60 mill. people.
The StalkBuster is integrated into the rotary crop header. It crushes the stubbles intensively before they are pushed down by the tyres of the forage harvester.
