Cultivation Equipment Demonstration
October 19, 2016Join Leon Vehaba, Farm Manager at the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, and Ethan Grundberg, Vegetable Crops Specialist with ENYCHP, for a discussion of weed management systems and demonstration of cultivation equipment.
The demonstration will highlight the use of several cultivation implements, including a Buddingh Basket Weeder, Williams Flex Tine Cultivator, I & J Two Row 3-Point Cultivator, HAK steerable S-Series hoeing machine, and a Jean-Martin Fortier style flame weeder.
In addition to the equipment demo, we will discuss how these tools are used in conjunction with cover cropping, plastic mulching and stale seed-bedding for weed management on diversified vegetable operations.
