Edem SolutionsCompaction of agricultural soils is a great problem facing many farmers whose farms lie in cohesive soils worldwide. Research has shown that crop productivity in any agricultural system is adversely affected by soil compaction which is caused, among other factors, by conventional tillage practises. However, conventional tillage practises like ripping are still popular and have found application in the more modern conservation agriculture. Like most other conventional tillage methods, ripping requires enormous draft forces that translate into high energy requirements; ripping tools must then be designed to optimise energy efficiency while still achieving the desired soil condition. This research examines the applicability of EDEM in simulating a ripping operation in a cohesive soil to establish the optimal tool design parameters and operational parameters that will result to optimal energy usage.
The objectives of this study are: Link: Numerical simulation of the resistance to ripping in a cohesive soil |

Kenya Network For Dissemination Of Agricultural TechnologiesKENDAT was established & registered in 1992 as Kenya Network for Draft Animal Technology, and was re-registered with the wider Agribusiness Development mandate in 2005 with the Office of the President as Kenya Network for Dissemination of Agricultural Technologies. KENDAT Purpose: To model innovative, efficient and resilient smallholder agribusiness systems for an Evergreen Africa. The KENDAT Vision: Kenyan rural and peri-urban farming communities living in productive, food-secure and competitive agri-business systems. The KENDAT Mission: We empower smallholder farmers to sustainably improve their livelihoods through innovative access to information, technology, means and markets.
