What is Crop Rotation?
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.
Read more
What are Cover Crops?
Cover crops are plants grown to improve soil health, control erosion, manage nutrients, and suppress weeds, enhancing overall farm productivity.

What is Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF)?
Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) confines machinery movement to specific lanes, reducing soil compaction and improving crop yields and soil health.
Read moreN
What is No-till Farming?
No-till farming involves planting crops directly into undisturbed soil, preserving soil structure and enhancing sustainability.
Read moreD
What is a disc chisel?
A disc chisel is an agricultural tool combining discs and chisels for deep tillage, reducing soil compaction and improving soil health.
Read more
What are deep-rooted crops?
Deep-rooted crops have extensive root systems that penetrate deep into the soil, improving soil structure, preventing erosion, and enhancing water infiltration.
Read moreE
What is EBITDA per hectare?
EBITDA per hectare measures agricultural profitability by dividing earnings (excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) by the total hectares farmed.
Read moreG
What Do Germination Rates Mean?
Germination rates indicate the percentage of seeds that sprout. Understand factors influencing these rates and learn how to optimize seed germination.
Read moreM
What is Moisture Retention in Agriculture?
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.

What are Organic Farming Systems?
Organic farming systems use sustainable practices to enhance soil health, biodiversity, and produce chemical-free food, supported by Mandako's efficient equipment.
Read moreR
What is Reduced Tillage?
Reduced tillage minimizes soil disturbance, enhances soil health, reduces erosion, and cuts fuel and labor costs.
Read moreS
What is Soil Aeration?
Soil aeration improves air exchange in the soil, promoting root development, nutrient uptake, and microbial activity while reducing soil compaction.
Read more
What is seedbed preparation?
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.
Read more
What is Seed-to-Soil Contact?
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.
Read more
What is Soil Structure?
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.
Read more
What is soil erosion?
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.
Read more
What is Soil Health?
Soil health encompasses the biological, chemical, and physical properties of soil, essential for sustainable agriculture and productive farming.
Read more
What are Sustainable Farming Practices?
Sustainable farming practices enhance productivity, protect the environment, and promote long-term agricultural viability.
Read more
What is Soil Compaction?
Soil compaction reduces soil aeration and water infiltration, hindering crop growth. Learn its causes, prevention, and Mandako's solutions.
Read moreV
What is vertical tillage?
Vertical tillage is a soil management practice that cuts and mixes soil vertically, reducing compaction, enhancing water infiltration, and improving seedbed preparation.
