subject: Twin Diamond Strip-cat - A Boon For Disheartened Farmers [print this page] In EAME market (Europe, Africa And Middle East) use of Strip-Till machinery is on continuous rise. The reports of worldwide researches, that certify the multidimensional benefits of twin diamond type strip-cat, also contribute in its growing popularity. According to one such report, Yields are higher in striped-tilled lands in comparison to the agriculture produce in comparison to no-tilled farm units. In a farm site with low phosphorus, total yield was 43.5 bu/a in striped-tilled part while it was 41.5 bu/a in no-tilled farm land (Randall Et Al., 2001).
The strip tilling with Twin Diamond Strip-Cat warms farms soil, which is the better aerobic condition for seedbed. Strip-tillage makes the nutrients of farm soil better adaptable as per plants needs. It gives protective untilled soil ground covering between two rows. The soil erosion after the proper use of Twin Diamond Strip-Cat is found less, if compared with soil erosion in traditionally tilled farm. When we apply liquid fertilizer, it directly goes to tilled rows having seed and emerging roots. Therefore, there is no wastage of fertilizer in strip tilling. It reduces the amount of needed fertilizer because of improving the proximity of fertilizing chemicals to roots. Strip tilling farming method saves money and time both because it reduces the numbers of trips in the field to make ready for plantation. Strip-Cat tilling also delivers the advantage of reduced carbon prints because of less fuel burning.
