An agricultural device associated with reduced tillage techniques in a field includes a frame and a separator supported by the frame. The separator is configured to form a strip of exposed soil in residual plant matter in the field. A crimping device associated with the separator is configured to at least partially crush sterns of residual plant matter while maintaining the strip.

An agricultural system includes a frame configured for attachment to a leading tow bar of a towing vehicle, and at least one roller device attached to the frame and extending between two adjacent parallel strip positions. The roller device is configured to crush standing residual plant matter in the field. The system further includes a fertilizer opener disk attached to the frame and which is configured to prepare, at least in part, a furrow for receiving a fertilizer. The system also includes a fertilizer injector attached to the frame and which is configured to deposit the fertilizer into the furrow in a trailing position relative to the fertilizer opener disk.

A cutting device for comminuting crop residues or catch crops on agricultural land is described. The cutting device is designed to be rotatable around a center longitudinal axis (MLA) and, to this, it has at least one bearing unit for rotatably mounting. The cutting device includes first and second respectively elongated cutting blade element, as well as at least one holding means for holding the cutting blade elements. The elongated cutting blade elements each comprise a cutting edge section and a connecting section lying opposite to the cutting edge section and are radially orientated in such a way that the cutting edge sections of the elongated cutting edge sections are arranged at a radial distance from the center longitudinal axis. The cutting blade elements are directly connected to each other with the aid of the holding means, wherein the connecting sections of the cutting blade elements are arranged directly adjoining one another in a center region of the cutting device receiving the center longitudinal axis (MLA).

A finger-hoe tool for a soil-tilling device, which has at least one finger, and a method for mechanical control of weeds in row crops make possible an input of loose materials into the row or a discharge of loose materials from the row, because the at least one finger has at least one device for collection and/or removal of the loose materials (e.g. earth, sand, stones), whereby not only the weakly rooted weeds but also more strongly rooted weeds can be controlled.

A tractor mounted tiller/cultivator system that includes right and left swing arms pivotally attached to tractor chassis, right and left cutting head assemblies mounted on the swing arms, each including a right disc motor driving a rotary disc mounted on a distal portion of the swing arm and operatively coupled to the motor. Ground-engaging cultivation wheels surround the rotary disc, and an annular guard prevents unwanted contact of the wheels with vines or trunks of vines and trees. A drive mechanism lowers and raises the swing arms to put the cultivation wheels into engagement and disengagement with ground and to rotate said swing arms about their longitudinal axes. User controls operatively connected to the swing arms, cutting head assemblies, and drive mechanisms enable a user to finely tune the movement of the cutting heads into and out from rows of trees or vines.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an implement having a frame and a soil moving implement that is attached to the frame. The soil moving implement is disposed in a row between plants for moving soil from between rows of plants to at least the rhizosphere of the plants to cover fluid that is deposited in the rhizosphere.
