Multipurpose technology for simultaneous preparation of primary and secondary tillage of the soil (second phase: construction and evaluation of the prototype)

In Mexico, the continuous increase in prices of fossil fuels and agricultural fertilizers has led to a reduction area planted with crops, specifically basic grains. This situation caused substantial ecological economic losses national deficit production grains, which aggravated social producers. Faced these growth limitations, it is important generate new practices innovations that contribute reducing factors. soil preparation, considered one most costly activities food production, there an enormous technological lag. At present, discs plow still by far widely used implement for primary preparation causing high rates loss due erosion, hard layers, minimal use moisture and, consequently, low productivity. Likewise, requires power requirements, excessive operation times fuel consumption. The purpose this research was construction evaluation prototype simultaneous secondary tillage crop establishment reduce consumption, without detriment quality work yields. results show mechanical equipment integrated three sections (chisel + harrow lump breaker), are combined soil. technology responsible performing single step, conditioning significantly surpassing conventional system.
