  • Page 38: C Pre Emergence Marker

    Practical Recommendations Practical Recommendations HOW TO PREVENT COMPACTION 1. Generalise the use of low-pressure tyres on field equipment to restrict surface compaction. Fitting wide tyres or twin wheels is not enough; pressure has to be adapted. The target is 0.6 bar, in agreement with the tyre manufacturer. When in tow, UNIDRILL does not load the rear wheels of the tractor and weights are not needed in the front! 2.
  • Page 39 Practical Recommendations Plough up stubble early to restrict slug feeding sources. Work surface soil rather finely and press to upset and make slugs uncomfortable. Keep soil clean by mechanical and chemical destruction and sow early. Detect the presence of slugs upon the first rainfall and set traps. Sow a little deeper and under fast-emergence conditions.
