Ensuring the best possible results for the farmland stands at the centre of our approach to ground cultivation. Ground cultivation requires the use of cultivators to ensure the soil type and conditions are effectively catered for to ensure optimum growing. We have a range of cultivators available to suit all soil types.
Discing
Discing is the process used to help prepare the soil for drilling by loosening and turning soil. Typically this process takes place in the spring to turn the upper layer of soil bringing fresh nutrients to the surface whilst burying the surface debris and loosening the soil.
Powerharrowing
This prepares a more level seedbed for maize planting.
Direct drilling
Direct drilling allows seeds to be directly drilled into the stubble of the previous crop without any prior soil cultivation. The seed is accurately drilled into the residues of the previous crop with minimal soil disturbances. This operation is fast and cost-effective as no further cultivation is required.
Precision maize planting
We use the most advance machine, planting at the desired seed rate with no misses or doubles. We drill with the option of fertiliser to give the plants the best possible start. Fert cartage, is available.
Strip-till
Here at Bayliss Bros, we recommend the use of our Strip-till to eliminate the need for additional ground cultivation. The strip-till creates a perfect seedbed for precision planting in a single pass. Alongside this, our strip-till is accompanied by a front fertiliser tank to get cultivation, fertiliser and planting sort in one go!
