Key Benefits |
 |
Faster residue decomposition
Mixing of
mulch and soils brings the micro-organisms responsible for breaking down the residue
into contact with the mulch far earlier than would otherwise occur thus speeding
up decomposition |
 |
Improved soil structure
Incorporating mulch with soils increase organic matter levels for improved
soil structure. |
 |
Reduced pesticides
Mulching stubble reduces the chances of pests and diseases harbouring over
winter within the stocks to affect the following crop. |
 |
Improved fertiliser utilisation
Improved soil structure also enables the crop to make better use of costly
fertilizers. |
 |
Reduced fuel Consumption
Increasing stubble height reduces the volume of crop passing through the combine
which dramatically reduces fuel consumption. |
 |
Reduced working hours
The combine’s capacity is greatly increased in terms of performance and operational
times due to the reduced volume
|
 |
Reduced down time
Cutting at higher stubble heights reduce combine down-time and risk of stone
damage. |
 |
Reduced harvest cost
Reduced working hours, improved combine output and reduced fuel consumption
improve harvest efficiencies .
