Spool Versus Pan Bed Shapers for Vegetable Crops

摘要: Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. Capitata ‘Fortuna’), mustard juncea Czerniak ‘Florida Broadleaf’), Sweetcorn (Zea mays var. rugosa Bonaf. ‘SsuperSweet 7210Y’), southernpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp. ‘Pinkeye Purplehull’), and snapbean (Phaseolus vulgaris ‘Blue Lake 274’) were grown on precision-shaped raised beds formed with either a spool roller shaper or pan shaper. Bed profiles recorded at planting again harvest to determine changes in bed outline due erosion equipment operations. No differences crop yield final shape noted. Either type of can be effectively used precision cultural system; however, the is easier operate does not drag soil ends field.
