Abstract:
A new technique for covering the whole corn stalk and no-tillage seeding of wheat between corn rows in wheat/corn two crops one-year area was studied in the north of China. This paper emphasized introducing the no-tillage seeding techniques of coving whole corn stalk, necessary agricultural machinery, operational technology and experimental results. The study shows that the technique and its necessary agricultural machinery can meet the agricultural requirement of no-tillage seeding and fertilizer application,and have an effect on storing water and preserving moisture of the soil. The input can be decreased by about 50% compared with the traditional method. It can save labor and time input, increase profit and save energy. Its attached agricultural machines make good use of the characteristics that there are more small power tractors in the village. Therefore this technique has been widely extended in China.
