No-till technology enables direct sowing without prior soil preparation, based on three key principles: no soil disturbance, covering with plant residues (mulch), and crop rotation. It significantly improves soil fertility, increases yields, and reduces emissions by helping to accumulate carbon in the soil. By applying this method, we save up to 30–40% water and prevent the loss of 700 million tons of soil from erosion — a real benefit not only for farmers, but also for the climate and biodiversity.

CEO
VSD - VELLA SEMINA DIRETTA
"At VSD, we manufacture exceptional direct seed drills in various sizes, with working widths ranging from 2.5 m to 9 m, featuring mechanical and pneumatic distribution, as well as all available electronic technologies—from simple control of basic functions to CAN BUS electronics in ISOBUS. Our machines are fully compliant with modern agriculture, as the use of NO-TILL technology is the most innovative in modern agricultural mechanization, as well as a method of farming that does not have a significant impact on the environment."
Our machines are designed to best apply this technology in agriculture, specifically in the inland areas of the central Italian Apennines, i.e., in areas that are very difficult to access and cultivate, and from which it is very difficult to generate income. To this end, we have created seeders with very high standards of strength, using high-quality materials carefully selected from the many available on the market. In addition to being very sturdy and durable, minimizing maintenance costs due to wear and tear and unforeseen events, we also took into account their ease of operation, which makes them easy to use. Another point we paid special attention to is that they can operate in very difficult conditions, both in very wet soil after rain and on very hard soil after prolonged drought. All this contributes to increasing the farm's income."
Key advantages
SUPERNOVA MG offers a unique combination of durability, precision, and economy, adapted to real field conditions. It is suitable for small, medium, and large farms and for various crops
— from rapeseed to corn and sunflowers.
Parallelogram with constant pressure
Patented hydraulic parallelogram system ensuring constant pressure throughout the entire stroke (up to 45 cm) at low operating pressure of 0–50 bar.
Low hydraulic pressure
Low-pressure operation reduces wear and energy consumption, proving fuel savings of up to 70% in field tests
Flexible metering
Dual hopper 60/40 (seed/fertilizer) and innovative distributor for high precision — suitable for different seeds and conditions.
Design & functionality
SUPERNOVA MG combines powerful turbo discs, precision seeding elements, and double closing discs to ensure optimal seed placement and root system development.
-
Turbo disc 17" — high flotation for cutting plant residues and micro processing.
-
Double V-discs 16" — precise seed positioning.
-
Double closing wheels 14" — preventing the "ceramic effect".
-
"Beaver tail" — for seed pressing.
Technical data
Materials: C45 steel (seeding elements), S700 (support beams), WURTH 10.9 stainless steel, SKF bearings.
Options: electrical distribution, pneumatic/hydraulic brakes, lighting for night work, photocells for seeding control.
Basic control / Agriculture 4.0 / ISOBUS with variable rate / CAN BUS
