Microsem is mounted off the toolbar above the MS or NG plus row unit and can distribute to either one or two rows based on planter configuration. This system is extremely precise in distributing product. The US insecticide system is mounted directly behind the seed hopper and is driven off a double sprocket that also drives the meter. This system is only available on single row configurations on NG plus.

Microsem Granular Insecticide

The Microsem system with worm gear metering system ensures a very accurate metering of micro-granules. Its simple design enables an easy and reliable use. Multi-purpose, the Microsem is compatible with the majority of micro-granulate products on the market (insecticides).

Insecticide Microsem

The principle of the Microsem metering resides in the auger system. The micro-granules contained in the hopper are taken up by 2 augers (1). The agitators (2) enable a regular feed of these augers. A finger wheel (3) then spread the product uniformly in the insecticide tube (4).
