The incorporation of stubble, straw and other plant residues assists in speeding up decomposition for quicker nutrient release. Furthermore, it enables farmers to utilise soil moisture just after harvesting to establish an optimal climate in which microbes can thrive and work best. Employing shallow cultivation directly after the harvest encourages lost and dormant seeds to germinate. This also enables a seedbed to be established for intermediate crops such as mustard and radishes. It also removes the main source of nourishment for slugs – thereby acting as a pest control measure. Stubble cultivation enables the creation of a seedbed before drilling which breaks down the soil pan and enables the root zone to have access to moisture and nutrients. The cultivation depth can be set in relation to the volume of residue left in the field. Today’s modern harvesting equipment can leave wheel marks in the field when working in less than ideal conditions. Stubble cultivation is the ideal way to remove them. The working depth can be adjusted in relation to the depth of the wheel mark. This in turn ensures improved seed placement and germination. Additional benefits include improved boom stability during spraying operations, as in field ridges have been eliminated as well as reduced operator fatigue during subsequent tractor operations. As weeds are extracted from the ground, they dry out and die on the surface. It is also possible to regulate the working depth depending on the type and concentration of weeds to be eliminated. FEATURES: EASILY CUSTOMISABLE The wing pressure system enables the cultivator to closely follow field contours, for a uniform finish. A simple pin-in-hole system is used to adjust working depth down to 25cm, the automatic leveling system automatically adjusts with the change in working depth. REAR ROLLERS There are seven types of rear rollers on the ST range and three distinct types of rear rollers are available on the STC and STX V models, as shown below, to deliver consistent compaction after cultivation. This helps assist in speeding up the germination of weeds and lost grains. Positive contact between the soil and the plant residues further assists quick decomposition. DEPTH FLEXIBILITY Uniform shallow cultivation occurs across the entire working width with the wing shares engaged. Where deeper loosening down to 25cm is required, the wing shares can be removed. OPTIMAL MIXING The special curved tines, which encourage a rolling soil action facilitate optimal mixing of straw and residues. New Holland’s STC range of heavy duty stubble cultivators offers numerous advantages to the users including rigid tines for an even working depth of between 6 – 25cm. The entire STC range is fitted with wing shares, to ensure a full cut across the entire working width. Click here to download the brochure for this product. Call our sales team for more information!
