What is mechanical cultivation?

The dreaded ‘M’ word is “mechanical”—as in mechanical weed control—using a row-crop cultivator to remove weeds from fields.
While driving to a field plot in Webster County last week Iowa State University Extension weed management specialist Bob Hartzler saw a land roller being used in a field. His first thought: “If we have time to roll fields, why is there such resistance to the suggestion of mechanical weed control?”

Mechanical cultivation is another weed control method which undercuts weeds between crop rows to kill them. A combination flamer/cultivator implement was designed to take advantage of the good qualities of both flaming and cultivation to provide excellent organic weed control.

Mechanical cultivation is a significant technological measure in plant production. On Slovenian farms a combination of mechanical cultivation and herbicide spraying is reasonable. Advantages and weaknesses of mechanical cultivation are described and different ways of cultivation for plants which we cultivate mechanically. Different types of machines for mechanical cultivation and ridging of potato are presented and the effects of cultivation on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.).
