Crop Residue Breakdown

[@anthonybanda8192]

Dcomp works great . We use it on corn stalks there is a visible difference between where we spray and where we don't. We try to plant at an angle so we aren't running across a single row as well . Great work !

With no till or low till especially in a corn field , do farmers try to plant the next year's crop in between the rows of the previous year's crop? That sort stalk and root system seems like it would be very difficult to plant thru.

With current GPS guided tractors you can load last year's planting map and "bump" the tractor over 6 inches and plant the new crop. There are are mechanical blades on the planter, so that you can seed thru the old row. But moving over is easier and will create better germination. We plant certain fields north south for a year and then plant east west the next year. Helps with the heavy compaction on the end where you turn.

How about developing machinery to break the residue into finer pieces. Which would create more soil to residue contact for biology to break it down even further.

@ 1:19 you say it starts with the planting. That is wrong. It starts with harvest. Residue from the combining is not properly spread, it leads to tillage or attachments to overcome the windrow effect.

Do Farmers in North America use mulcher to chop maize residues?

@@AgPhD Thank you! You guys do great job!

A lot of farmers in northeast Wisconsin till under their fields after picking or chopping their crops, why would that be? I would think leaving what's left of the picked crop out in the field would be a good thing, yet every crop field up here gets tilled under which leaves huge frozen dirt fields all winter. I find it odd

Still think farmers will do mostly no till, but if ya have to till ground i think it will be stuff like high speed disk ect....

Honestly unless its a hill disc rip it up and get those soils opened up.
