Rotary tillage

What is rotary tillage?

Returning tillage is an agricultural technique in which the soil is turned over so that the top layer is turned downward. This process helps improve soil structure, especially controlling weed pressure and promoting the digestion of organic matter. By turning the soil, nutrients become more available to crops and water infiltration is improved. This method is often used to prepare a seedbed where there is quite a lower weed pressure than other tillage operations such as digging. And thus contributes to a healthier and more productive soil.

Implementation of rotary tillage

Tillage requires a thoughtful approach to fully reap its benefits. This technique involves plowing the soil, which helps control weeds and improve soil structure. It is important to pay attention to the timing and depth of tillage to avoid soil compaction. In addition, it may be helpful to add organic fertilizer to increase soil fertility. For optimal results, consistency is essential. Want to learn more about tillage and how we can support you?
