Tillage field trial more than doubled the emergence of volunteer seeds and black-grass
This summer, Väderstad conducted a field trial of ultra-shallow tillage in harvested wheat stubble. The trial compared passes with a Väderstad Carrier XL disc cultivator equipped with conventional 610 TrueCut discs and the same machine fitted with CrossCutter Discs. It found that volunteer cereal seed emergence increased by 105% and the emergence of the difficult-to-control grass weed black-grass increased by as much as 174%.
