No-Till vs. Full Till
Agronomy Research 2014 Sustainable Agriculture Research Education (S.A.R.E) Grant Initiative Research evaluates different tropical cover crops and there ability to be terminated with a roller-crimper to produce surface sheet mulch for improved weed suppression and soil moisture retention in the following vegetable crop rotation. Custom built Roller-Crimper and the termination of the Sunn Hemp cover crop resulting in a thick layer of surface sheet mulch Control Sunn Hemp Sunflower Biofuel Production in a Changing Climate STX can serve as a model for climate change research. Here we see Guinea Grass evaluated as a potential biofuel. Multiple Use Crops: Did you know that many cover crops can serve multiple functions at once? Here we can see bees foraging pollen and nectar from sun flowers planted as a cover crop. Sunn Hemp provides protein to sheep. Direct seeding using a “No-Till” Drill to plant Sunn Hemp into Hurricane Grass to improve pasture quality!
