Evaluation of an Organic No–Till System for Organic Corn, Soybean and Tomato Production⎯Neely-Kinyon Trial, 2007
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction The Rodale Institute (Kutztown, PA) began experimenting with an Organic No–Till Plus system in 2004, where commercial crops (corn, soybean, pumpkin) were no-till drilled or planted into cover crops that were rolled with a roller/crimper. The roller consists of a large steel cylinder (10.5 ft. wide x 16 in. diameter) filled with water to provide 2,000 lb. of weight. The Rodale Institute supplied Iowa State University with a roller in 2005 for experimentation in Iowa.
