 Soil preparation and planting - the less, the better!

Depending on the crop to be installed, the type of soil preparation will vary. Generally, we consider at ICS that the less, the better (if not a direct drill - see Rapid seed drill) which is now possible because of the new equipment available. This approach has two main advantages :

 It reduces costs.

 It brings better control over soil structure. This aspect is very important in arid areas where soil structure is very fragile and thus should be maintained or improved rather than destroyed.

The following equipment has been selected from a much larger range.

When soil preparation is necessary, we try to work the soil as shallow as possible. The best tool for shallow cultivation is the Väderstad Carrier. Because of an excellent working depth control it can finetune the soil preparation, incorporate the residues in the top soil layer or make the right finish. It will also avoid bringing deep weeds in the top layer (essential for non-competitive crops such as onion, garlic) and facilitate an even weed emergence (easier to destroy).

It may be fitted either with disks placed up front or ripper tines with the leveling cross board system. When a large amount of crop residues has to be handled, a front straw harrow may be fitted in front of the discs.

In some cases, for vegetable crops, we might recommend the use of a shallow cultivation tool designed by Franquet to be used in combination with the Monosem MS planter.
