HARROWING [11 records]

Record 1 2021-12-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cultural Practices (Agriculture)
  • Weed Science
CONT

Another type of physical weed control is mechanical weeding, such as hoeing and harrowing. These techniques have been especially successful when used in organic farming for many decades, and are currently experiencing a renaissance in conventional farming systems also. As an alternative to chemical procedures, mechanical weed control is of prime interest in all crop types.

Domaine(s)

Le choix de l'outil et de son ajustement dépend du sol, du stade de la culture et du stade des mauvaises herbes, de la différence relative de stades entre les deux et de la pression des mauvaises herbes.

Record 6 2004-01-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Tillage Operations (Agriculture)
CONT

Conventional tillage for grain crops and row crops has long involved plowing, disking, and harrowing to prepare ground for seeding. Plowing turns the soil over and covers crop residues, usually producing a rough, cloddy surface. Disking breaks the clods into smaller pieces, and harrowing smooths and compacts the surface to form a seedbed.
