Cultivation and fertilization are the two main activities that are performed on every farm. Without them, the effects of agricultural activity would not bring the intended profits, but losses. Therefore, in the article we will present the most important agricultural machines used for these activities necessary for plant growth. Check out what unique operation each of these machines has.
- Fertilization machines, i.e. barrel tankers and manure spreaders
- Disc harrow for mixing manure
- Tillage units as a multi-purpose tillage machine
- Tillage rollers for post-sowing care treatments
Fertilization machines, i.e. barrel tankers and manure spreaders
Water tankers i spreaders are special, large-sized portable agricultural tools for transporting and evenly distributing fertilizer across agricultural fields. They consist of a large barrel or box, which is pumped or filled completely with fertilizer using special systems. They are usually attached to two-wheeled machines and steered across the field to spread the manure. They are only used to apply fertilizer to the soil. A different type of agricultural machinery is used to mix them.
Disc harrow for mixing manure
In the past, a plow was used to mix the soil with manure, which was guided by a two-wheeled machine across the entire farmland. Currently, plows have been replaced by disc drivers that perform more tasks. Disc harrows are intended for shallow tillage and thorough mixing of the soil with crop residues, scattered manure or sown lime. They are also used to easily remove weeds, and the larger design of the harrow with a disc section allows it to cover a larger part of the field than a plow. As a result, work progresses faster and more efficiently.
Tillage units as a multi-purpose tillage machine
Farmers value it the most tilling sets for work on the farm. Depending on the type of unit, it can be used for plowing or no-plow cultivation. However, each of these types of tools performs many functions, including loosening the soil, crushing clods, breaking the topsoil, mixing fertilizers with the soil, destroying weeds, cutting and leveling the soil, and sowing seed.
As you can see tilling sets they can be used interchangeably with a disc for mixing soil with decomposed manure. That is why they are called multifunctional agricultural machines, which allow several cultivation operations to be performed simultaneously during one work pass. Taking this into account, such a reduction in the number of passes of agricultural machines has a positive impact on agricultural cultivation.
Tillage rollers for post-sowing care treatments
Rolling is extremely important to improve the conditions for plant growth. Cultivation rollers because they thoroughly level, knead the soil and crush clods. These activities effectively thicken the surface layer of soil, improving water absorption. It is worth noting that rolling helps to arrange the seeds better in the furrows, which is why most agricultural tillage machines have attached tillage rollers. This solution can be found in AMJ AGRO cultivation and seeding units, which include, among others: ARMIS scratching unit.
