Rye mulches, derived from mechanically killed (rolled and crimped) winter rye cover crops, can serve the same purpose for spring-planted organic crops. Both methods can also be employed by conventional growers who face looming problems with herbicide resistant weeds.

  • Secondary Tillage Implements
    SECONDARY TILLAGE Tillage operations following primary tillage which are performed to create proper soil tilth for seeding and planting are secondary tillage. These are lighter and finer operations, performed on the soil after primary tillage operations. Secondary tillage consists of conditioning the soil to meet the different tillage objectives of the farm. These operations consume less power per unit area compared to primary tillage operations. Secondary tillage implements may be tractor drawn or bullock drawn implements. 1. Harrow Harrow is a secondary tillage implement that cuts the soil to a shallow depth for smoothening and pulverizing the soil as well as to cut the weeds and to mix the materials with the soil. There are several types of harrow used in India such as disc harrow, spike tooth harrow, spring tooth harrow, acme harrow, patela, triangular harrow, bade harrow, guntaka and reciprocating power harrow. 1.1. Disc harrow It is a harrow, which performs the harrowing operation by means of a set, or a number of sets of rotating slat discs, each set being mounted on a common shaft. Disc harrow is found very suitable for hard ground, full of stalks and grasses. It cuts the lumps of soil, clods and roots. Disc are mounted on one, two or more axles which may be set at a variable angle to the line of motion. As the harrow is pulled ahead, the discs rotate on the ground. Depending upon the disc arrangements, disc harrows are divided into two classes a) Single action and b) Double action. Single action disc harrow It is a harrow with two gangs placed end to end, which throw the soil in opposite directions.

Gearboxes The central, side or transfer gearboxes are all built with as few gears as possible, reducing friction in favour of lower fuel consumption. The bevel gears feature large gears with helical teeth: increasing the contact surface reduces the play inside the gearbox, which is entirely beneficial for the transmission of power. Double-skinned construction Comprising a double-skinned trough - with a 6mm-thick inner and 5mm-thick outer - MASCHIO GASPARDO harrows feature a stronger, more rigid construc- tion, delivering high performance under all conditions. COMPETITORS Stress test comparison The double-skinned trough makes the harrow more rigid and prevents it from twisting or bend- ing, while there is no significant increase in weight. The trough, featuring an exclusive design, is made from high-strength steel. Stone deflectors The protective wedge-shaped deflectors are bolted onto the trough's outer skin, protecting the space between the rotors from being hit by rocks or other debris, stopping such foreign objects from getting inside and poten- tially jamming the rotors.

  • The Guide to Good Black Grass Stale Seedbeds
    The Guide To Good Black Grass Stale Seedbeds An essential checklist to maximise the agronomic benefits FOREWORD Independent Soil Advisor by Philip Wright www.wrightresolutions.co.uk/id2 Stale Seedbeds : The importance of soil structure The soil on your farm is your most important asset, providing the foundation for yield and profit. Yield losses attributable to compaction range from 15% to 50% or greater. These losses can be the difference between profit and loss for many crops, so avoiding and correcting compaction is key. Maintaining good soil structure is vital; key indicators of good soil structure include: Porosity - to allow easy passage of roots, plus for good air and water storage or movement; Stable aggregates - to cope with heavy rain, and to resist breakdown or loss by erosion; Good biology - having adequate levels of organic matter, aerobic conditions and ‘soil life’ including good earthworm numbers; 2 THE GUIDE TO GOOD BLACK GRASS STALE SEEDBEDS Above left : Above right : Well aggregated structure. Compact low-porosity soil with a wet layer holding water. Drainability - capable of a fast return from saturation to field capacity after high rainfall; Good crops - high yielding crops develop large root systems which maintain good structure. COURTESY OF LEMKEN UK / AGRII 3 Compaction is best spotted when soils are moist to wet. Digging holes will show layers resisting moisture movement, and checking root growth through the profile will show if remediation is needed. Long term, building roots and organic matter levels through the profile will give a sustainable structure. Removing barriers to water and root movement will allow nature to work most efficiently to provide this.

Weeds are dangerous not only because of their competition for inputs, but also due to their survival capacity as per the old saying “one year seedling seven year weeding”. The worst annual species are those having a high seed production and/or those producing seeds over a prolonged period of time. To reduce weed pressure it is important to prevent inflow of weed seeds from the environment. In stale seedbed land management practice, the weeds are stimulated to emerge and controlled by various measures prior to cropping. A key component of a well prepared stale seedbed is the absence of weeds at sowing, as well as uncontrolled weeds at sowing/planting have the potential to significantly impair stand establishment and crop yields.
