Scientific testing of the Alliance 354 Agriflex VF tire
Following the first series of scientific field tests, which were successfully conducted by SEGES Innovation and NDI Group in Denmark, new tests have recently been launched. A team of professionals is working on studying the impact of Alliance tires on crop yields and quality.
Doron Salomon, Head of Product Management at Yokohama Europe, said: "We highly appreciate the scientific data that speaks in our favor. Experts have conducted field research and thanks to this, we are now fully confident in meeting all scientific standards."
The Alliance 354 Agriflex VF tires are perfectly suited for tractors working with row crops. Created using the new VF technology, they can withstand 40% more load than regular row crop tires at the same inflation pressure.
Henning Siuerslev Lingvigh, one of the representatives of SEGES, described the experimental method with tires as follows: "When sowing corn, we use two different wheel pairs in four rows each. Throughout the year, we plan to observe and monitor the growth and quality of crop yields. And after harvesting this fall, we will fully analyze the data and compare the yields. In the end, we will be able to make a final conclusion about the impact of the new development on crop yields and quality," said Lingvigh.
