Why might clods prevent seedlings emergence?
Clods block sunlight from the seedling and thus the seedling cannot use photosynthesis
Clods are heavy and the seedling may not have enough energy to move a clod.
Soil clods are areas of intense erosion, thus the seedling may be damaged.
none of the above
What are the three basic goals of a soil tillage system?
Controlling weeds, improving soil physical conditions, and managing the crop residue
Controlling seeds, improving farm fiscal conditions, and managing the crop residue
Reducing erosion, removing weeds, and providing good seed soil contact.
Removing clods, weeds, and rocks
Why might a farmer want to control weeds through tillage?
to eliminate as many weeds as possible
to prevent weeds from competing with crops for sunlight, water, and nutrients.
to incorporate herbicides into the soil
all of the above
What is the difference between primary and secondary tillage?
primary is the tillage that kills all the weeds, while secondary is used to remove weeds that sprout after the crops
primary uses larger equipment than secondary
primary tillage breaks up the soil and buries crops residue while secondary breaks up clods and produces a fine seedbed
primary tillage occurs only in the fall, while secondary tillage occurs in the spring
why would a farmer want to increase the organic matter near the surface of the soil?
organic matter improves the nutrient value
organic matter provides fertilizers for weeds
organic matter helps the soil dry out quickly
none of the above
what is this process in picture called
Harvesting
Plouhing
sowing
thrashing
