We continued testing the VrootR on black, heavy, dry, and compacted soil in Ököritófülpös. First, we were on a rapeseed stubble field with a high plant density and plenty of residue. It worked ideally at around 8 cm: it cut through the entire surface, sliced emerging weeds, eliminated the large cracks, and the plants remained standing on the surface because the
We were looking for a solution for shallow stubble cultivation, but we needed something that cuts through the entire stubble surface — tall stubble, heavy residue, even green regrowth. The elephant‑sized part of the challenge is the crop residue wrapping around the tines. It’s a self‑reinforcing problem: if we want to cut through the entire surface with many tines, we
That’s how this development is. We took a machine out to Agritechnica, and I haven’t even written an article about it on the website yet. But it’s an exciting piece! We could even call it the BUSA regenerative farming starter kit – kind of like a Swiss Army knife, painted yellow. The simple yet versatile structure can be mounted at
We received an exciting task. We had to support autumn direct seeding. Of course, since we were involved, it wasn’t direct seeding anymore, but it was sensible. The area was a mix of looser and tighter sandy stubble and meadow, where soil preparation was of utmost importance. However, due to the recent drought conditions, we had to minimize soil disturbance.
