Above, “The Howard Rotavator That Could” – but its manufacturer, Kongskilde has failed to recognize the extra-commercial promise (kongskilde.com). On its webpage, Kongskilde enumerates 2 results but did not label “Excellent” – which I definitely do! With its slogan “Moving agriculture ahead,” Kongskilde has actually buried this machine! (Discontinued.)
The other manufacturers of rotavators are not any better! I
have just googled “rotavator organic” and Google
(Wednesday, 12 April 2023) said, “About 1,620,000 results (0.46 seconds).”
I selected the webpages; here’s 8 websites:
Agri Farming:
“Rotavator Uses In Agriculture” (agrifarming.in)
– nothing
said about organic.
Fieldking: “New
Agriculture Machine Rotavator” (pinterest.ph) – zero organic.
Kirloskar Oil Engineers: “Rotary
Tiller” (kirloskaroilengines.com) – no
mention.
Poorti: “Bengal Rotavator”
(poorti.net) –
nothing organic.
Hi-Tech Agro Equipments:
“Rotavator For Agriculture” (hitechagro.co.in) – zero
mention of organic.
Jaswant: “Rotavator” (jaswantagro.com) – nada.
Vismaya Integrated Farm Tech: “Jaysan
Rotavator” (vismayagroup.in) –
zilch.
AgriCos: “Heavy
Duty Rotavators / Rotary Tillers / Rototillers” (agricosrotarytiller.com)
– none.
DemFarm: “Getting
To Know The Rotavator And Its Benefits For Agricultural Land” (demfarm.id):
… A rotavator can also
help to mix in fertilizer… Organic fertilizer like compost or manure is
preferable…
(DemFarm doesn’t see that the rotavator can help create the
organic fertilizer itself!)
Agria: “Soil Preparation”
(agria.de):
In case of light up
to middle-heavy grounds, … a finished seed or plant bed can be prepared in one
process. The slower the rotavator will be driven and the quicker the rotavator
shaft rotates, the finer the ground will be loosened. Furthermore organic
material can be included ,,, (for example cover crops).
Close but not quite!
IRRI: “How To
Prepare The Rice Field For Planting” (knowledgebank.irri.org)
–
The nearest good thing IRRI says is this: “Plow or [rotavate] the field to
incorporate stubbles and hasten decomposition.” Almost! But IRRI’s knowledge
bank does not discuss how the stubbles could contribute to soil
fertility by plowing or rotavating.
What I want to say
now is: We have not only to discover for ourselves the hidden talent of the
rotavator – better, to reinvent it so that it automatically produces the
organic mulch so that from thereon “rotavation” automatically means “organic
mulching.” Organic Agriculture is the solution to Farmer Poverty and the resolution to Climate
Change!
Farmer Poverty:
Organic agriculture (OA) is very much cheaper than chemical agriculture (CA). OA:
Low costs, high returns. If you have organic produce, more will buy from you
and/or you will earn more.
Climate Change:
OA does not generate greenhouse gases like CA does – no further rise in climate
disasters.
The Philippines’ hybrid rice (HR) seed makers are Bayer Crop Science, Pioneer Hi-Bred
Philippines, SL Agritech, Syngenta, and Yuan
Longping High Tech Agriculture Co.
(“List” from mordorintelligence.com)
I invite any/all of HR companies
in Manila to sponsor a million-dollar invention called “Organic Rotavator.” (I
am speaking from actual experience of 20 years – via my brother-in-law, who
followed my rotavator directions.) Monetary benefits will be with that HR investor.
An investment of PhP1.7 million should be enough. Year 1 – Reinvented rotavator in
field tests; Year 2 – new machine
production. Let’s go!@517
