Jigeumgang ENG Co., Ltd. (CEO Kim Sik) held a demonstration meeting for dry paddy field tillage and transplanting cultivation technology on the afternoon of the 23rd in Samho-eup, Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do. The event, hosted by the Jeollanam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, was attended by about 100 participants, including farmers, Nonghyup members, and city and county officials.
The demonstration introduced dry paddy field tillage and transplanting technology for rice cultivation. The core of this technology is to replace the traditional process of leveling paddy fields with tillage in March and April using laser leveling, to apply herbicide 10 days before transplanting, and to flood the field 7 days before transplanting (maintaining the water level for more than 5 days). By replacing conventional tillage with laser leveling, it is possible to distribute labor more efficiently during the busy farming season, reduce agricultural machinery usage time by up to 58%, prevent water pollution caused by non-point source pollution, muddy water, fertilizers, and pesticides, and reduce water usage, thereby realizing a low-carbon ESG farming method.
At the demonstration, Lee Yunho, an agricultural researcher at the National Institute of Crop Science's Crop Physiology Division, explained the dry paddy field tillage and transplanting technology for rice. This was followed by demonstrations of Jigeumgang ENG Co., Ltd.'s Multi-Roll High-Speed Plow (a machine that performs plowing and rotary tillage simultaneously) and Laser Leveler (a machine that moves soil and levels the land).
The Multi-Roll High-Speed Plow simplifies the farming process by performing plowing and rotary tillage at the same time, allowing two tasks to be completed in a single operation. This is expected to contribute to a substantial increase in farm income by reducing fuel and labor costs associated with agricultural machinery use. In addition, it incorporates Jigeumgang ENG Co., Ltd.'s technological expertise, including Hardox material moldboard blades and a ground roller for durability, the application of optimal RPM and a shock-absorbing automatic transmission device for multifunctionality.
Kim Sik, CEO of Jigeumgang ENG Co., Ltd., stated, "Through the Multi-Roll High-Speed Plow, we expect to stabilize both dry paddy field tillage and transplanting technology and direct seeding methods."
