Shallow cultivation is favoured by many as a powerful technique to help control blackgrass in a min-till regime, moving just enough soil to encourage weeds and volunteers to chit without burying seeds too deep or consuming excessive power and diesel. Many traditional tined cultivators can’t be set to work at sufficiently shallow depths, so a new generation of tillage tools is emerging.
