Tuckwells are pleased to announce a new partnership with leading manufacturer of electronic haulm desiccation machines, crop.zone. This collaboration aims to provide farmers across East Anglia and South Eastern England with access to crop.zone’s innovative Electric Crop Management technology through Tuckwells‘ extensive network of 11 outlets.
Electric desiccation is transforming agriculture by providing a chemical-free alternative to traditional haulm destruction methods. This innovative technology utilises electricity to effectively eliminate potato haulm without the environmental impact associated with chemical treatments. It is both efficient and sustainable, generating no harmful residues and preserving soil health. Farmers who adopt electric desiccation can expect enhanced tuber quality and a significant reduction in chemical usage. This advancement is contributing to a greener, more sustainable agricultural landscape.
Partnering with crop.zone enables Tuckwells to provide cutting-edge, environmentally friendly electric crop management technology that meets the evolving needs of todays professional growers. Through this partnership, crop.zone‘s electric crop management systems—including solutions for herbicide-free potato siccation, cover crop termination, and weed control—will be more accessible to UK farmers seeking efficient and environmentally responsible alternatives.
Ashley Sismey, our Grimme Product Sales Specialist, expressed his enthusiasm for this partnership, stating, “I am excited to support this innovative product at the intersection of technology and crop science. While it is primarily designed for the potato haulm desiccation market, this machine is also suitable for other applications, including oats and various cover crops.”
Christian Kohler, CCO of crop.zone commented on the partnership saying, “We are excited to partner with Tuckwells, one of the UK‘s leading dealers who have been growing, expanding and serving farmers for over 70 years. Tuckwells is a national reference, one of the most trusted and respected agricultural and turf machinery dealers in the UK. Their extensive experience and customer-focused approach make them the ideal partner to bring our technology to a wider audience.”
