Agricultural Land Leveling
What are the benefits of land leveling for Rice? 1. Higher Yield Good field leveling increases the rice yield considerably. In two experiments conducted at different localities, a strong correlation was found between the levelness of the land and crop yield. 2. Better Weed Control Agricultural Land leveling increases yield to a large extend because…
OptiSurface Development Commences
The OptiSurface concept was concieved by farmer, David Cox, after seeing the negative effects of tradional laser landforming. He enlisted Agricultural Engineer, Dr Graeme Cox to develop a software system to enable optimum surface landform designs which offer the benefits of tradional laser landforming but with much reduced earthworks and topsoil removal.
