Kverneland Group has signed an agreement to acquire French company BC Technique, which produces the Phenix Agrosystem brand of inter-row cultivators, rotary hoes, guidance interfaces and tine harrows.
The Phenix brand will continue to be available in those markets where it currently exists, but will gradually be introduced as Kverneland products, available through the Kverneland dealer network.

The portfolio includes the Helios star-wheel equipped rotary hoe; Lynx guidance interface with colour scanning self-steering camera for use with any existing hoe; and the high-tech X-Green guidance interface solution that can be equipped with up to two colour scanning self-steering cameras.
The product range also includes the Onyx series of row-specific tined hoes (3.0-12m). When equipped with ISObus and the X-Control parallelogram, the Onyx offers section control through automatic raise and lower of individual weeding assemblies at headlands. The inter-row hoe can also be used in conventionally spaced cereal crops at 12.5cm row widths.
Product specifications and pricing details are still to be announced, with the first models expected to arrive within the next couple of months.
