Cultivation - First Pass - Organic Weed Control
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- The first cultivation pass is often the most important AND difficult for organic farmers. The crop is small -- susceptible to being buried or injured -- and yet eliminating weeds early is much easier when they're still small.
In this video, several PFI farmers share advice on when it's time to switch from light-tillage implements like rotary hoes to cultivators; what the crop and weeds should look like when you start cultivating; what you're looking to do with that first pass; and other things to look for when cultivating a field for the first time after the crop has emerged.

Great teachings guys. Thank you .
A narrow front 4020 with a mid mount cultivator is exactly how my family did it from when that tractor was new up until a few years ago.
Great content guys.
Dad would use a front mount John Deere cultivator with a pull behind rotary hoe. There was a small window to do this in. It was effective in weed control. We also walked our beans for escaped weeds.
What do you do when a few rainy days makes your soil between the rows too sticky to cultivate? It stops your ability to continue with your weed control plan. If i wait for drying, to get at the weeds, it gets tough to find the rows, because the weeds just "explode".
why you stopped uploading new videos very useful for mechanical weeding pls
