New roller crimper concepts for mechanical termination of cover crops in conservation agriculture
Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems, 2009 AbstractRollers crimpers have been used in conservation agriculture to terminate cover crops; however, excessive vibration generated by the original straight-bar roller design has delayed adoption of this technology in the United States. To avoid excessive vibration, producers generally reduce operating speeds that increase the time needed to perform ...

PLOS ONE, 2019 The termination of cover crops in conventional no-till systems is mostly conducted mechanically in combination with herbicides. Combining flaming and roller crimpers could be a viable solution to avoid using herbicides for cover crop termination in farming systems where herbicides are banned, or at least to reduce their use in an integrated management ...

Equipment Development to Manage Cover Crops for Small and Urban No-till Farming Systems
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017 In recent years, cover crop use in no-till organic production systems has steadily increased. Unincorporated cover crop residue forms a mulch layer on the soil surface that protects against erosion, runoff, soil compaction, and weed pressure, while ...

Yield stability of silage maize double cropping systems across nine German environments
Frontiers in Agronomy, 2023 IntroductionYield and its stability are both vital characteristics to evaluate the viability of cropping systems. However, the current frames of field research hardly allow an accurate evaluation of short-term effect stability.

Management Effect on the Weed Control Efficiency in Double Cropping Systems
Agronomy, 2023 There are often negative side-effects associated with the traditional (silage) maize cropping system related to the unprotected soil surface. Reducing soil disturbance could enhance system sustainability.

Relationships between Soil Tillage Systems, Nematode Communities and Weed Seed Predation
Horticulturae, 2022 Soil tillage is generally recognized as having a negative effect on soil health and weed seed predators. Recent advancements in conservation tillage practices allow for further comparison of how different levels of soil disturbances could influence soil ...

Agronomic aspects of cover crops termination with roller crimper
, 2021 Cover crops (CCs) are used in conservation systems to deliver a number of ecosystem services, including soil erosion prevention, water infiltration and storage, reduced nutrient losses, increased organic matter content and competition on with weeds. The CCs can be terminated prior to planting the cash crop and residues can remain on the soil surface ...
