Description

Traditional Preparation

PRT

Three harrowings using a plowing harrow and two more with a leveling harrow, with the operations carried out before planting in the harvest, once a year. In the off-season, direct sowing was carried out, with no soil preparation being carried out, due to the rainy season in the region, which made soil preparation at that time impossible.

Direct Planting System

SPD

Soil preparation before system implementation. Afterwards, there was no soil preparation, with the only disturbance being in the sowing line during the harvest and off-season.
