Strip-till combines the benefits of conventional tillage with the conservation-friendly advantages of no-till farming.  The low-disturbances, targeted tillage approach, consists of only cultivating a narrow band of soil in which the crop is to be planted, leaving lanes of uncultivated soil and residue either side of the furrow.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

• Only disturbing the soil in the seeding zone dramatically improves soil health and allows harvest machinery to travel without causing damage to the soil
• In-row fertiliser placement (liquid or granular), reduces the need for fertiliser applications whilst also reducing the weed burden between the crop rows
• Conditioning the soil in and below the seeding zone creates the perfect growing environment for the plant, which will ultimately ensure the optimal level of yield
• Passes with the SPX during Winter and Spring allows air into the soil, to aid the drying and warming processes, which are essential for row crops on heavier soil types
• Fewer passes equates to reduced cultivation time and cost
