63 Ergot Spraying Machine

These machines were produced as a side project by the agricultural cooperative in Kylešovice, converting Zetor tractors from the 30XX and 47XX series. Seven units were built in total. Ergot inoculation was performed by spraying under favourable conditions, avoiding rain and hot weather. With full tanks, each machine could spray 2–3 hectares. Ergot is a parasitic fungus that primarily affects rye, wheat, and barley, and has uses in the pharmaceutical industry.
