Shredding has several benefits from the field to the landscape
From the farmer's and municipality's points of view, shredding has several benefits:
- Controlling weeds: weeds migrate from the border into the field and spread over the whole plot. Mowing field edges prevents weeds from spreading to the established crop.
- A solution to the ban on plant-protection products: shredding is an excellent and environmentally-friendly alternative to weed management. It is necessary in areas where plant-protection products are forbidden: river banks and streams, ecological areas or with environmental contracts, residential areas...
- Ensure an easy field access: tall grasses on field edges impair its accessibility, meaning that a pass with the shredder may be an indispensable measure before entering the field.
- Pruning of hedges: cutting back hedges doesn´t mean destroying them, but to maintain and limit them to where they can fulfil their conservation functions. Hedges, which slowly grow into the field or too close to the road edge, serve nobody in a positive way.
- Ensure driver visibility: in spring and summer, each car driver can probably list one or the other turn or crossing, where he/she is not able to overlook the complete traffic situation well, because tall grasses block the view. As soon as the visibility of road users is reduced, local authorities have to meet their obligations in terms of road safety and mow road verges.
- In the field, fine shredding and a uniform distribution are key points to accelerate decomposition and conversion into humus, to provide favorable conditions for uniform germination of the subsequent crop, and to control certain pests, diseases and weeds.
