The Avenger® coulter system with a 30" blade is the key to deep, uniform fumigant placement for nematode, disease and weed control, according to the Yetter Manufacturing Company. "The coulter blade cuts a path that is narrow but deep," says Don Bunnell, Research and Development Specialist for Yetter. "Unique knives with drop tubes on the trailing edge of the coulters precisely place fumigants 12" deep. An exclusive Double Seal System ™ then locks the fumigant in place, enhancing diffusion and maximizing pest control." Bunnell explains that the first seal is made by sealing beavertails mounted above the injection point on the knives, which close the coulter traces and create a barrier deep in the soil. The second seal - at the soil surface - is made by sealing wheels that close the knife traces. Together, they keep the fumigant in the soil so it is uniformly dispersed. The Yetter Avenger, Bunnell notes, minimizes soil disruption, even through crop residue or standing cover crops in reduced till or no-till situations. In plasticulture, he says, it easily cuts through any plastic and string remaining after harvest. "The Avenger requires less horsepower than typical deep placement equipment and doesn't plug up with plastic and string," adds Bunnell, "reducing fuel costs and increasing field speed. And the durable, spring-loaded design minimizes the risk of damage due to rocks and stumps." Established in 1930 and based in Colchester, Illinois, Yetter Manufacturing Company is the industry leader in planter attachments that boost productivity and profitability. Yetter makes a variety of coulters, residue managers, precision fertilizer placement products, markers and bulk seed handling devices.
