Spring is the time when you need to take special care of the condition of the soil in the field by performing appropriate agrotechnical measures. Because after several months of the unfavorable influence of winter, the soil loses its proper structure and at the same time the ability to absorb nutrients. Therefore, knowledge of care treatments that help restore the substrate to its proper condition after a period of negative temperatures is essential. We include this group harrowing, rolling, dragging, weeding i soil fertilization. Check what characterizes each of them.
Harrowing
Harrowing is performed to loosen the soil shallowly and crush clods or heavy soil crust, which was formed as a result of too much water while letting in a small amount of air. But that's not all. Harrowing has many other benefits, including helping to destroy weeds, stopping water evaporation, leveling the surface and covering plant seed. Therefore, this procedure is most often carried out in spring, before sowing, and the so-called disc harrows. The above-mentioned machines are equipped with a set of concave discs that rotate when moved, cutting the soil at an appropriate angle.
Rolling
Rolling is one of the basic spring treatments that is necessary in the care of agricultural land, including meadows and pastures. It is made using special tools cultivation rollers, which are intended to press the turf to the ground. As a result, this treatment has a positive effect on the physical properties of the soil by increasing water absorption and stimulating the root systems of plants.
Effectiveness cultivation rollers is really big, which is why they began to be added to many different agricultural machines. This significantly increased their functionality and accelerated work on the farm. Above all cultivation rollers you will meet in cultivation units, which allow you to perform many treatments in the field at the same time - see for yourself by checking the offer ATOS disc aggregate od AMJ AGRO company.
Tragging
In spring, any unevenness on the surface of arable land, permanent land and grassland must be dealt with. Because moles do not fall asleep in winter, but remain active, digging their corridors. In turn, with the arrival of spring, their activity intensifies, creating molehills that cover the plants. Therefore, in spring the number of molehills increases significantly, but there is no reason to worry, because dragging can help. Namely, special ones drag machines they effectively crush molehills and at the same time level the entire surface in the field.
For this reason, you can even meet with tillage embankments equipped with drag, so you can perform two care treatments at the same time. Many agricultural machinery manufacturers offer such shafts in their offer. In particular, you can pay attention to HUGE 6.2 WŁÓKA tillage and seed roller, which can maintain the same working height across its entire width.
Fertilization
In turn, fertilization is a care procedure that is responsible for providing nutrients needed by plants for proper development, regulating soil fertility, and even preventing the occurrence of weeds. When fertilizing the field in spring, you should use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, because the soil is then particularly poor in these ingredients.
