Loosening the soil is a fundamental agricultural technique aimed at regulating the physical properties of the soil. Regular use of machinery in row spacing, especially in vineyards, inevitably leads to soil compaction, which prevents normal air exchange and reduces crop yield. Using deep loosening methods and transitioning to non-inversion tillage allows for the optimization of soil structure, improvement of soil moisture retention, and the creation of favorable conditions for the development of plant root systems during the active growing season.
This selection contains expert materials dedicated to the technical aspects of soil tillage and the specifics of site preparation. The reader will find information on the design of modern ploughs and machines for non-inversion tillage, as well as practical recommendations for restoring soil fertility after intensive use. Special attention is paid to preparing land for stubble and catch crops, which is critically important for obtaining a second harvest. The materials will help agronomists and specialists optimize production processes, correctly select equipment working components, and ensure effective monitoring of the treated layer's condition under various climatic conditions.
Viticulture For agronomists
Regular deep loosening of the soil in vineyard inter-rows allows for compensating for soil compaction caused by machinery and stimulates the development of the root system. This method ensures optimal moisture accumulation and the long-term maintenance of the productivity of fruiting plantings.
Farm machinery For agronomists
The article examines the design features of flat-cutting sweeps and the technical specifications of popular machine models intended for primary conservation tillage at various depths
Soil and tillage For agronomists
Efficient soil preparation for stubble and post-harvest sowing requires immediate tillage after harvesting the predecessor crop. Adherence to technology and a differentiated approach to tillage depth allow for maximum retention of soil moisture and ensure the yield
Viticulture For agronomists
