Rodale Institute's High Residue Cultivator

An innovative tractor-mounted implement called a high residue cultivator is utilized as a “rescue” response to manage weeds in a rotational no-till system. The high residue cultivator has coulters (residue slicers) that cut through the cover crop residue mulch to create a path for the sweeps to ride under the mulch, just below the soil surface to cut weed tops from their roots or uproot them. Two press wheels on either side of the coulter press down firmly on mulch residues thereby facilitating clean slicing of the residues ensuring that sweeps riding under the mulch leaves the mulch intact and relatively undisturbed. This is important in ensuring that weed suppression from the mulch is not impaired.
