Biological pest control uses natural predators, parasitoids, pathogens, and herbivores to manage pest populations sustainably.

Crop residues are plant remains left after harvest, crucial for soil health and erosion prevention.

Crop rotation is an agricultural practice of alternating different crops in the same area across seasons to maintain soil health, manage pests, and optimize crop yields.

Cover crops are plants grown to improve soil health, control erosion, manage nutrients, and suppress weeds, enhancing overall farm productivity.

Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) confines machinery movement to specific lanes, reducing soil compaction and improving crop yields and soil health.

No-till farming involves planting crops directly into undisturbed soil, preserving soil structure and enhancing sustainability.

A disc chisel is an agricultural tool combining discs and chisels for deep tillage, reducing soil compaction and improving soil health.

Deep-rooted crops have extensive root systems that penetrate deep into the soil, improving soil structure, preventing erosion, and enhancing water infiltration.

EBITDA per hectare measures agricultural profitability by dividing earnings (excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) by the total hectares farmed.

Germination rates indicate the percentage of seeds that sprout. Understand factors influencing these rates and learn how to optimize seed germination.

Moisture retention in agriculture refers to the soil's ability to retain water, essential for crop growth. Factors include soil texture, organic matter, and practices like mulching and conservation tillage.

Organic farming systems use sustainable practices to enhance soil health, biodiversity, and produce chemical-free food, supported by Mandako's efficient equipment.

Reduced tillage minimizes soil disturbance, enhances soil health, reduces erosion, and cuts fuel and labor costs.

Soil aeration improves air exchange in the soil, promoting root development, nutrient uptake, and microbial activity while reducing soil compaction.

Seedbed preparation involves soil management practices to create an optimal environment for seed germination and growth, using tools like land rollers for a smooth and firm soil surface.

Seed-to-soil contact ensures successful germination by facilitating moisture, nutrient uptake, and temperature regulation. Proper soil preparation and the right equipment, including land rollers, are essential.

Soil structure is the arrangement of soil particles and spaces, affecting water movement and root growth. Mandako equipment helps improve soil structure for better farming.

Soil erosion removes the topsoil layer through natural forces or human activities, impacting soil fertility and productivity. Mandako equipment helps prevent erosion by enhancing soil structure.

Soil health encompasses the biological, chemical, and physical properties of soil, essential for sustainable agriculture and productive farming.

Sustainable farming practices enhance productivity, protect the environment, and promote long-term agricultural viability.

Soil compaction reduces soil aeration and water infiltration, hindering crop growth. Learn its causes, prevention, and Mandako's solutions.

Vertical tillage is a soil management practice that cuts and mixes soil vertically, reducing compaction, enhancing water infiltration, and improving seedbed preparation.
