Our good partners from Paul-Tech and their soil stations have monitored the impact of different cultivation methods on the plant-growing environment in a trial we organised. With Paul-Tech's kind permission, we are republishing an overview of the effects of different agro-techniques on plant-growing conditions, which was first published on their blog. The trial was carried out on a field in Tartumaa, Rannu Seemne OÜ, where field peas were in the crop rotation in 2024, preceded by a diverse cover crop.

As the demand for sustainable farming practices grows, regenerative agriculture is stepping into the spotlight. This approach emphasizes soil health, biodiversity, and resource efficiency, making it an essential tool for tackling climate change and ensuring food security. Two standout practices that often get the most attention are direct drilling and cover cropping, both of which hold transformative potential when integrated into farming systems.

This article examines how drones are revolutionizing cover crop sowing at Snåttsta Farm in Sweden, showcasing their role in enhancing soil health, crop rotation efficiency, and sustainable agriculture. It highlights farmer Emil Jansson's experiences and NordLuft’s innovations, exploring the benefits, challenges, and global potential of this technology.

On August 29, eAgronom organized its second Direct Drill Demo Day, held in the fields of Mäe Teravili OÜ in Kautjala village, Harju County. This year's event gathered many farmers and experts to discuss and experience the possibilities and challenges of direct drilling. While the previous demo day focused on simpler conditions, in 2024, drilling techniques were tested in complex soil conditions and on fields covered with higher biomass—challenges familiar to many farmers.

Autumn has arrived, and with it, the time to take stock of last year's Direct Drill Demo Day. It was a valuable experience both for us and for all the participants, who were able to take a closer look at direct sowing technology and see how the different seeders work in real life.

The field pea that has sprouted in eAgronom's demo farm has been damaged by weevils. The situation varies on plots where we test and compare tillage intensity. Read more about this and other updates from our demofarm in this blog post!

Winter wheat that was sown by 16 different seeding machines has survived the winter and is growing rapidly - it's time for a spring review from our Direct Drilling Demo Day field!

What happened to the winter oilseed rape sown in August 2023, how do the winter-killed cover crops help control weeds, and what will we analyse from the soil samples taken from the field?

In 1999 Benito Cortines purchased a Brazilian made drill, a Semeato TDNG 420, a small grain no-till seeder for sowing his cereal crops on the home farm near Jerez in Southern Spain, which at the time was 300 hectares.

One single and a mix of different cover crops was grown on our Estonian trial field in autumn 2023. This article gives an overview of their biomass analysis results and the carbon sequestration potential.

Trials led by the Estonian agritech startup will strengthen existing profit- and sustainability-increasing measures related to all aspects of the growing process

Our mission at eAgronom is clear – to champion the widespread adoption of regenerative practices among farmers by revitalising our precious soil and combating climate change.
