The STRiP-TiLL technology came from the USA, where at a certain stage, as a result of changes in the external environment, it was formed from the technology of direct seeding, or No-Till. This tillage technology is most suitable for row crops. Yes, it was primarily developed in North America specifically for corn. Gradually, it proved itself well during the cultivation of other row crops, in particular, sunflower, soybean, sugar beet, etc.
Strip cultivation, as a resource-saving technology with the prospect of its application in arid conditions, is quite promising in the cultivation of industrial crops. The key principles of implementing the strip-till technology are the separate type of its application, i.e. the formation of strips and sowing are spread over time, or combined - when the processes of forming strips and sowing are carried out simultaneously. World agricultural engineering offers various technical and technological solutions for the implementation of strip-till technology, based on the application of the principles of separate and combined methods of implementing this technology, in which they use: in the first version - separate machines for forming strips and sowing, in the second - about combine them into one unit and use one universal unit.
One of the features of strip tillage is the possibility of using various chemicals and mineral fertilizers at the same time as sowing seeds, which makes it possible to make the fertilizing process quite precise and targeted, placing active substances right near the roots of the plants.
Strip-Till allows you to integrate oxygen into the soil with part of the fertilizers when plants with a short growing cycle are planted. This improves plant development by eliminating stress. Passing the rollers on both sides of the seed line eliminates the air pocket left by the paws, promoting ideal plant growth. Loosening only the seed line limits or eliminates inter-row weed growth while creating a water storage area that will percolate to the roots of the harvested plants.
