G92-1098 Cultivators For Conservation Tillage, Robert D. Grisso, Paul J. Jasa
G92-1098 Cultivators For Conservation Tillage, Robert D. Grisso, Paul J. Jasa
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Cultivating residue-covered fields and ridge-till considerations are among the topics covered here.
In any conventional, conservation or no-tillage planting system, crop cultivation can be an excellent method of weed control. Cultivators used in residue-covered fields must allow residue to flow through the implement without clogging.
Extra penetration force may be required to cultivate no-till fields as compared to tilled fields. While many high-clearance cultivators are designed to handle conservation tillage conditions, some older cultivators can be modified to work in residue-covered fields when residue flow and soil penetration are maintained.
Combining mechanical and chemical weed control is economical and effective …
