TODAY RESIDUES MANAGEMENT HAS THREE MAIN FUNCTIONS:
MODERN STUBBLE CULTIVATION
● WEED CONTROL:
to achieve its maximum yield poten al, a crop has to keep free from weed compe  ons and
volunteers. A good cul var has to encourage as soon as possible weed and volunteer germina ons
a er harvest to make more effi cient the following treatments.
● STRAW INCORPORATION:
residues mixing in the top 2-5 in of soil promotes residues decomposi on and nutrients release
increasing soil fer lity.
● STRUCTURE REPAIR OF COMPACTED SOIL:
minimum  llage not only protects soil architecture through minimal soil disturbance,
but also permits the popula on growth of soil biota. These soil organisms undertake
biological ripping that improves soil structure, preven ng compac on and facilita ng
root penetra on.
