Row Cultivators
One of the important stages in farming is weed control. Previously, pesticides were widely used for this purpose, but their use led to environmental pollution. In addition, over time, the weeds became “accustomed” to the annually applied drugs, which reduced the effectiveness. Therefore, today mechanical methods of weed control are becoming increasingly popular.
One such method is the cultivation of row crops, carried out after sowing. The use of a row-crop cultivator promotes active plant growth, destruction of weeds and fluffing up of the soil. Along with cultivation, you can apply mineral fertilizers. Treatment of row spacing also reduces the number of harmful insects, destroys weeds and creates unfavorable conditions for the development of eggs and larvae of pests.
The benefits of inter-row cultivation include:
- Destruction of weeds.
- Feeding plants.
- Creating conditions for normal growth and development of crops.
- Increasing the quantity and quality of the harvest.
Row-crop cultivators are designed for cultivating row spacing of various crops, such as sunflower, corn, potatoes, beets, vegetables, both during the germination period and in the mature phase of development. When using such cultivators, it is important to control the speed of movement to avoid damage to the plants.
Before purchasing a row-crop cultivator, there are several key factors to consider:
- Tillage quality.
- Reliability and service life without breakdowns, as well as warranty periods.
- Cost of spare parts.
- Characteristics of the cultivated soil.
- Amount of crop residues on the field.
- Tractor compatible.
- Working width and productivity.
- Row spacing.
- Number of simultaneously processed rows.
- Processing speed.
Types of row cultivators include:
- With a common beam for working parts.
- With separate sections of working bodies.
Additional options for row-crop cultivators may include systems for automatic control of the treatment area, monitoring of fertilizer application rates, as well as systems for recording operating time and area treated. The received data can be easily transferred to other devices.
For successful weed control, cultivation of row spacing, application of nutrients and root fertilizers, a row-crop cultivator is an indispensable assistant.
