What changes does the European Green Deal require from farmers?
The European Green Deal elicits a range of reactions: intense protests from farmers, demands from ecologists, and political decisions. The changes proposed in the European Green Deal significantly impact agriculture, aiming to reduce reliance on agricultural chemicals and minimize the carbon footprint through agrotechnical measures.
OThe response to the need for change is the adaptation of agricultural machines to growing requirements. The offerings of leading manufacturers, such as Rolmako, include a wide range of machines for no-plough cultivation, ultra-shallow cultivation, mulching, and weeders.
What is the European Green Deal?
The European Green Deal (EGD) is a strategic initiative of the European Union aimed at counteracting global climate change and environmental degradation. As part of EGD, ambitious goals have been set regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the protection of biodiversity. In the context of agriculture, EGD envisages reducing the use of plant protection products, fertilizers, and antimicrobials for farm animals. Moreover, it is planned to allocate 25% of agricultural land for organic crops, and part of the land is to be left fallow.
The implementation of the EGD assumptions necessitates the agricultural sector's adaptation to new environmental and climatic requirements. In this context, promoting sustainable agricultural production and the development of organic farming is crucial. Initiatives such as the "Farm to Fork" Strategy, the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030, and the introduction of organic production are means to implement the EGD assumptions.
Implementation
In Poland, as in other EU member states, the execution of EGD goals necessitates ongoing dialogue and specific actions. Adapting agricultural strategies and policies to new challenges is essential to contribute to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In agriculture, this requires increasing production efficiency, reducing chemical use, and promoting agrotechnical practices aligned with sustainable development principles.
The use of agricultural machinery, in line with the EGD assumptions, will be adapted to meet new requirements. Equipment such as disc harrows, weeders, and seeders will be employed to enhance the efficiency of agricultural production while mitigating environmental impact. The implementation of innovative agricultural technologies and practices is essential to achieving sustainability goals in the agricultural sector. This endeavor necessitates modern agricultural machinery, which additionally maintains a low carbon footprint during both production and use stages. Such cultivation equipment is available from top manufacturers, including Rolmako. Despite the extensive range of modern agricultural machines available, the following are two strategies to reduce herbicide usage in crops and their multifaceted benefits.
Weed harrow and cover crops as alternatives to herbicides?
The concept of the Green Deal is commendable. However, farmers anticipate that the necessity to modify agricultural methods will result in increased production costs and prices for cereals and vegetables. The cultivation of sugar beet serves as a prime example. Conversely, research indicates that appropriate agrotechnical measures can be almost as effective as herbicides or artificial fertilizers. A significant example is weed control. The conventional chemical approach involves the use of herbicides. It is important to note that this method is not necessarily more cost-effective than agrotechnical treatments. How can weeds be managed without chemicals, and with what?
Weeder harrow, mulching harrow from Rolmako
The ActiVAgro weeder offered by Rolmako provides an effective alternative to chemical weed control in cereals, potatoes, corn, beets, rapeseed, and a wide range of vegetables. This versatile unit is suitable for standard crops and grassland maintenance. With ActiVAgro, minimal weed presence is maintained by breaking up the soil surface crust. The device is effective both immediately after sowing and during plant germination. It features a hydraulic frame unfolding mechanism, ensuring even pressure distribution across various terrains. The harrow tines working angle can be adjusted mechanically or hydraulically from the tractor cabin, guaranteeing uniform performance across all sections.
The ActiVAgro weeder is suitable for a variety of crops, including rapeseed, other cereals, vegetables, corn, sugar beets, potatoes, soybeans, peas, pumpkins, and grasslands, as well as grasses and meadows. The machine is also ideal for raking turf and eliminating molehills in meadows. Its effectiveness, versatility, and adaptability to various terrains offer numerous benefits, such as reduced costs due to lower chemical usage, improved plant growth conditions, and enhanced weed protection. Additionally, the machine facilitates soil aeration, promoting effective plant growth.
MThe device can also be equipped with an APV cover crop seeder with a pneumatic or hydraulic blower, further limiting weed development in the fields.
Mulching and Cover Crops - a Mulching Harrow from Rolmako as a Way to Reduce Herbicides
Mulching units, such as the Rolmako SpringExpert mulching harrow, are an excellent alternative to traditional methods of weed control and stubble care after harvesting cereals and rapeseed. This harrow creates a microclimate in the upper layer of soil by using the moisture contained in the ground for quick and even germination of weed seeds. It then eliminates weeds at the cotyledon stage.
SpringExpert operates efficiently on stubble and pre-sowing, facilitating rapid leveling and warming of the topsoil after winter, thereby expediting spring crop emergence. Its thoughtful design and capability to function at speeds up to 25 km/h make it highly efficient.
The SpringExpert mulching harrow is designed for even straw distribution, thorough seed shaking, and the elimination of volunteer seeds and weeds. Durable, long tines operate at depths of up to 3 cm, and optional front work discs mix crop residues with the soil, facilitating the process.
The operation of mulching units enables the reduction of chemical usage and operational costs of agricultural machinery. They serve as an effective and ecological alternative to herbicides while supporting sustainable agriculture principles. Optional additions, such as a cover crop seeder, further optimize field work, contributing to higher crop quality and increased yields.
As evidenced by the example of these two machines, modern equipment is not only multifunctional but also highly effective. Additionally, their design ensures they are economical in everyday use and consume less fuel than older devices. The Green Deal encourages a shift in our perspective on farming. This is a complex and challenging process, necessitating vigilance, dialogue, and flexibility from all parties. Nonetheless, there is a general acknowledgment of the need for change..
