Das Konzept des "controlled traffic farming" im ökologischen Gemüseanbau [PDF]
, 2017 Problems of machinery induced soil compaction are evident in organic vegetable production, resulting in stunted root growth and reduced yield. Controlled traffic farming (CTF) provides a possibility to restrict soil compaction to wheel tracks and create ...

Mathematical modelling of the movements of tractor working tools in controlled traffic farming
Agricultural Science and Practice, 2017 The main index of quality work of wide-span tractors for controlled traffi c farming is the scale of damaging the plants with the working tools. Damaging the plants is considerably dependent on the scope of transversal deviations of the working tools ...

Evaluation Of Onion Production On Sandy Soils By Use Of Reduced Tillage And Controlled Traffic Farming With Wide Span Tractors [PDF]
Acta Technologica Agriculturae, 2015 Growing of vegetables is often characterised by intensive field traffic and use of heavy machines. By implementing controlled traffic farming (CTF), compaction of the growth zone can be avoided. An experiment was established in an onion field on a coarse
