Abstract

According to the current state of the art, crop residues and catch crops are buried by deep tillage without being crushed. Covered with soil, there is a possible lack of oxygen. Instead of the desired aerobic rotting anaerobic rotting processes set in. Leaving the uncovered, unprotected topsoil on the surface also increases the risk of erosion and removes protection against evaporation. By destroying the capillaries, it extremely reduces water absorption, e.g., during a heavy rainfall. In addition, not shredding the crop residues or catch crops leads to a high risk of blockage for the subsequent seeding machines. A current project of the Chair of Agricultural Systems and Technology of the TU Dresden is the development of a modular biomass processing and soil blending system. The project processing is carried out jointly with the project partners Müthing GmbH & Co. KG, Güttler GmbH, FH Südwestfalen and TH Köln. The main objective of the project is combining mulching technology with shallow tillage in a functional, reliable prototype. The main part of the Dresden University of Technology is to develop a material-conduction device to ensure the defined placement of the crushed crop residues. With this adjustable placement, the soil mixing intensity is variable to obtain higher soil coverage rates for erosion-and evaporation protection.
