F210 Honda tiller 1949 Farmall C with C-254-A two-row cultivator A tractor-mounted tiller Tines close-up A cultivator pulled by a tractor in Canada in 1943. A cultivator (also known as a rotavator) is a piece of agricultural equipment used for secondary tillage.
Soil loses nutrients, like nitrogen and fertilizer, and its ability to store water. [17] [note 2] Decreases the water infiltration rate of soil. (Results in more runoff and erosion [17] [19] as the soil absorbs water more slowly than before) [note 3] Tilling the soil results in dislodging the cohesiveness of the soil particles, thereby inducing ...
A tiller is a shoot that arises from the base of a grass plant. The term refers to all shoots that grow after the initial parent shoot grows from a seed. [1] [2] Tillers are segmented, each segment possessing its own two-part leaf. They are involved in vegetative propagation and, in some cases, also seed production.
Dragged teeth (also called shanks) that pierce the soil. Rotary motion of disks or teeth. Examples are: Power tiller / Rotary tiller / Rototiller / Bedtiller / Mulch tiller / Rotavator; Harrow (e.g. Spike harrow, Drag harrow, Disk harrow) Land imprinter; Plow or plough (various specialized types) Roller
(pl.) aboiteaux A sluice or conduit built beneath a coastal dike, with a hinged gate or a one-way valve that closes during high tide, preventing salt water from flowing into the sluice and flooding the land behind the dike, but remains open during low tide, allowing fresh water precipitation and irrigation runoff to drain from the land into the sea; or a method of land reclamation which relies ...
Exclusive species – confined to specific location. Exotic – not native to the area or region. Exsiccatus – a dried plant, most often used for specimens in a herbarium. Indeterminate growth – Inflorescence and leaves growing for an indeterminate time, until stopped by other factors such as frost (see also Determinate).
The forensic scientist said the results showed the soil was “much more likely” to have come from the same location as the sample in van, and ranked as “odds 100 times to 10,000 times more ...
Each set of tines is rotated on a vertical axis and tills the soil horizontally. The result is that, unlike a rotary tiller, soil layers are not turned over or inverted, which is useful in preventing dormant weed seeds from being brought to the surface, and there is no horizontal slicing of the subsurface soil that can lead to hardpan formation ...
