CROP Concept & Soil Compaction - Groundswell 2024

Speaker: Odette Ménard
The CROP concept emphasises the
importance that all of these components
have to be worked together to make sure we
get to a healthy soil.
C for Cover
R for Roots
O for Oxygen
P for Porosity
We all know the benefits of every single
component but the only way to get the most
out of each if them is by making sure they
are all optimal at the same time.
Soil compaction is the most limiting factor
to insure maximum yields. Using real life
data and Terranimo simulation, it is possibly
to show the impact of surface and subsoil
compaction to farmers and help them to
adopt practices to minimize compaction
while improving traction in the fields.

Снижение давления в шинах - частичное снижение их влияния на пористость почвы. Фермеру приходится выполнять работу на поле и в условиях повышенной влажности почвы, что существенно снижает пористость почвы даже при уменьшения давлениях в шинах! В но-тилле выход есть. Это переход на постоянные большие полевые гряды - все машины должны двигаться только по одной колее! Кроме того, следует полностью отказаться от дисковых сошников! Они также существенно уменьшают пористость почвы. В результате корневая система имеет форму "ирокеза"!
Reducing tire pressure is a partial reduction in their effect on soil porosity. The farmer has to work in the field and in conditions of high soil moisture, which significantly reduces soil porosity even with reduced tire pressure! There is a way out in no-till. This is a transition to permanent large field ridges - all cars must move on only one track! In addition, disc coulters should be completely abandoned! They also significantly reduce soil porosity. As a result, the root system has a “Mohawk” shape!
