Access to advanced technologies is crucial for every farmer, regardless of the size of his farm. Appropriate tillage that ensures a healthy soil structure is the foundation for optimal conditions for the growth and development of crops. Modern agricultural machinery They significantly speed up and improve this process, saving time and increasing work efficiency. In this article, we will introduce you to the tasks performed by popular devices.

Post-harvest tillage
Post-harvest tillage is important and is carried out immediately after harvest. Its main task is to evenly distribute crop residues on the field and thoroughly mix them with the soil, which helps retain moisture in the soil. Thanks to modern ones cultivation aggregates, which replace traditional plows, this process is not only faster, but also more effective. Cultivating aggregates they mix the remains with the soil more evenly, which promotes their faster decomposition and better preparation of the soil for the next season.
Tools for post-harvest cultivation in the no-plow system
The no-till system focuses on minimizing soil disturbance, which results in protecting its structure, increasing water retention and preserving soil biodiversity. Post-harvest cultivation in this system requires tools that effectively mix, crush clods and eliminate weeds without turning over the soil layers. Disc harrows with sharp discs perfectly meet these criteria. Thanks to the adjustable working depth, they enable precise preparation of the field for shallow post-harvest cultivation, while maintaining the key organic layer on the surface.
Minimizing the number of machine passes in the field is another important aspect of the no-plow system, which prevents the formation of the so-called plow sole. Machines like disc harrow BT i PORTO no-plough aggregate from the company BRASTAL are invaluable here. They reduce the time needed to prepare the field and at the same time reduce soil compaction, which supports the healthy development of the plant root system and facilitates the management of water and nutrients in the soil. As a result, farmers can enjoy better conditions for crops and increased efficiency of their work.
Preparing the field for sowing
Comprehensive field preparation is possible thanks to the use of cultivation and sowing units, which integrate several functions: leveling, compacting, crushing, mixing and sowing the soil. AT disc cultivator with the option of mounting a seeder is an example of such a machine. It eliminates the need to use additional cultivators, rollers or drags. This enables single-pass cultivation, which is not only efficient, but also friendly to the soil structure itself, protecting it from repeated passes of heavy machines.
