Overview
Ultra-shallow cultivation
The combination of a cultivator with a mulch harrow ComboTill is utilized throughout the growing season. In spring, it loosens and dries the soil post-winter and facilitates pre-sowing cultivation. In summer, post-harvest, it is employed for shallow stubble pulling and the mechanical destruction of volunteer plants and weeds, serving as an alternative to herbicides. In autumn, it is used for soil dressing or pre-sowing cultivation. ComboTill aligns with ultra-shallow stubble cultivation, designed to quickly stimulate the emergence of numerous volunteer plants, thereby improving results at lower costs. Operating in accordance with plant biology reduces costs related to chemical agents and enhances field hygiene.
ComboTill, compared to a traditional cultivator, doubles the rate of soil processing. Fuel consumption per hectare can be reduced by up to half. Traditional cultivators require heavy rollers to achieve expected results, consuming significant fuel and power to process large soil masses. Crushing and re-compacting the soil with rollers necessitates additional traction force, thus more fuel. Without surface clods, no rollers are needed to break them. ComboTill, with a 5-meter working width, requires similar traction force to a 3-meter traditional cultivator with a roller. ComboTill saves maneuvering time on headlands, reducing tractor use. Its even and finely crumbled soil processing lowers cultivation costs.
In the initial pass, which involves uniformly processing the stubble to a depth of 3 to 5 cm, evaporation is interrupted. This process generates a finely lumpy soil structure and shallowly integrates the straw with the soil, establishing favorable cultivation conditions. The harrow distributes the straw very evenly, thereby displacing self-sown grain and weed seeds and gently mixing them into the soil. The microclimate under the straw cover retains soil moisture, creating ideal conditions for the germination and full development of undesirable crops, which are effectively eliminated in the subsequent pre-sowing treatment. ComboTill is a versatile device suitable for various year-round applications, such as seedbed preparation, stubble cultivation, natural fertilizer work, or mechanical weed control. Available working widths range from 3 to 6 meters.
