Mulcher

A mulcher is a heavy-duty tractor implement used for chopping crop residues to be mixed well in the soil. It belongs to the category of crop residue management. This implement shreds materials like bushes, grass, maize stalks, paddy & wheat straw and sugarcane trash into tiny pieces. These small pieces are spread across the field. Mulchers are PTO-operated and, thus, are mounted on tractors.

A mulching machine uses a set of hammers or rotating blades to cut vegetation and other waste materials into fine pieces. It reduces agricultural waste and converts it into mulch – a layer of organic matter on the soil surface. This improves soil fertility and promotes healthy crop growth. Other key benefits of a mulcher include:

• Helps in vegetation management by clearing overgrown vegetation fast and efficiently.
• Generates mulch to cover the soil surface to control erosion.
• Offers effective weed control by chopping weeds into fine pieces.
• Reduces time and labour investment in crop residue management.
