Modern agriculture requires highly specialised solutions to optimise production and reduce weed impact. Oliver Agro, with its comprehensive range of agricultural machinery, offers specific equipment to meet the requirements of every crop type. Oliver Agro is the only manufacturer in the world with a complete range of inter-row weeders covering every crop — from the narrowest rows to the widest, from drilled to transplanted crops.
Maize, Soya, Sunflower, Processing Tomato, Sugar Beet: Rotosark
The Rotosark is the most versatile inter-row weeder in the range, effective across a broad spectrum of wide-row crops. Rotoblizz rotors + hardened flat hoe: 3-in-1 function (crust breaker, inter-row weeder, ridger). Modular frame adapts to different row spacings. Ideal for contractors and mixed-crop farms.
Carrot, Onion, Drilled Lettuce: Colibrì
The Colibrì is designed for drilled narrow-row crops that require extreme precision. Works within millimetres of the row without touching plants or displacing seeds. Essential for 4th range crops, basil and baby salad leaves.
Lettuce, Radicchio, Cabbage, Broccoli: Optyma 2.0 or Rotostar
For head-forming crops, Oliver Agro offers two solutions:
- Optyma 2.0 — camera-guided automatic steering with AI: recognises the plant collar, works 24/7 even in the dark, reaches up to 90% of inter-plant space. The most advanced solution for large surfaces and high-value crops.
- Rotostar — dual-rotor system with flexible tips for inter-plant weeding without guidance system. More accessible investment for smaller operations.
Garlic, Onion, Leeks, Shallots: Rotovert
The Rotovert is designed for very narrow row spacing (13–35 cm). Vertical counter-rotating rotors work right at the plant without touching bulbs or roots. The Rotovert TILT-I version handles even narrower inter-rows.
Hemp, Artichoke, Squash: Rotohemp
The Rotohemp is the specific machine for industrial crops with voluminous leaf canopy. Leaf lifters allow weeding under the foliage without damage — a unique feature for hemp and artichoke.
Strawberry, Courgette on Plastic Mulch: Rotofilm
The Rotofilm with rubber-coated rotors works at the plastic mulch film edge without tearing it. Compatible with biodegradable films. The only solution on the market for this specific application.
Pre-Emergence, Stony Soils, Delicate Seedlings: Rotobrush
The Rotobrush with motorised brushes eliminates weeds at the cotyledon stage without displacing the crop. Ideal for the false seedbed technique, stony soils and first post-emergence intervention on delicate seedlings.
