The great potential of spot specific tillage (and why it hasn’t been unlocked yet)

With more than 65% of agronomic crops under no-till production in Pennsylvania, herbicide-resisant weeds are spreading, reducing crop yields and becoming very difficult to control. - Photo: Canva

Research shows mixed cultures lead to a greater yield

Researchers are shown here at Penn State s Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs digging up roots. When the corn flowered, the roots of two plants per research plot were unearthed and evaluated, and shoot biomass was collected. - Photo: Hannah Schneider/Penn State

Research reveals how crop roots penetrate hard soils

A tractor is plowing up rows of barren land for future crops. The dirt is dry and dusty. Dust is kicked up by the tractor. A windmill farm is in the distance with rows of white windmills. Dry land is seen up to the horizon. The sky is bright blue with spotty clouds.

Are light autonomous robots the answer to soil compaction?

Demonstrating how much soil compaction can occur during planting, how it impacts yield and how to minimise compaction at planting are goals of the AGCO Crop Tour program in 2020. AGCO agronomists will be observing crop development and measuring yield at Fendt Momentum Crop Tour plots throughout the Corn Belt this summer.
