Subsurface densification of the soil occurs when the load-bearing strength of the soil is exceeded. In the layer just beneath the plough, densification can occur; this plough sole begins at a depth of about 30 cm. ...
"Fast-growing, high-yielding crops, mineral fertilizers, heavy soil disturbance such as through ploughing, and the use of pesticides all have significant drawbacks: The system has low species diversity, there is a high risk of nutrient loss through leaching and volatilisation, and the emission of greenhouse gases as well as the use of pesticides can also have undesired side ...
But there could be a solution, in the form of a machine that ploughs fields in a manner that saves about half the amount of water usually used for irrigation, and a quarter of fertilizers used in cultivation. ...
Four water conservation treatments were tested on both the monoculture and relay systems: no-till straw standing, where no ploughing occurs and straw from the previous harvest is left standing (25 cm high) in the field; no-till straw covering, where no ploughing occurs and chopped straw is evenly spread on top of the soil; tillage with straw, where straw is mixed ...
These changes in farming methods have resulted in more deeply compacted soils, unchecked runoff, lines left from ploughing, and cracks in the soil. Factors such as compaction prevent the soil from being able to hold more water and lines and cracks in the soil concentrate the water flow — therefore speeding up the flow of water on the soil’s surface. ...
We are proud to announce that the first fully forged plough points have been produced on our Beche hammer whilst the impressive hammer itself and associated equipment and systems have been fully tested and certified. ...
