Mulching is an important part of modern agriculture and can be done with a flail mower / tractor mulcher, so why mulch? and what are the benefits?
Mulching with a tractor flail mower assists agricultural practises by; minimising input costs (pesticides and herbicides), is compatible with sustainable farming methods and increases soil fertility. This is achieved through helping nature with its natural processes.
Finely mulched material promotes faster decomposition, preventing diseases and pests from developing. Crop residue which decomposes rapidly provides nutrients for the next crop, uniform distribution of this residue via mulching allows for steady distribution of nutrients. Mulching also prevents soil erosion.
Coarse mulching of catch crops effectively stops them from running into seed, thus preventing unwanted plant growth in the next main crop. Coarse mulching of catch crops binds the nutrients for longer preventing leaching.
Muthing flail mowers can assist in achieving the results you need for any mulching application. Whether it be improved pasture, soil structure and fertility or rapid decomposition of bi-product to reduce the chance of disease infestation or the need for pesticides and herbicides. Muthing Flail Mowers can assist with achieving all of the above. Perfect for viticulture, orchards, vegetable crops, rice, general pastures, broad-acre and even grounds care.
