Back to "Agrarian scientist"Jethro Tull (* 1674 in Basildon, Berkshire (England); " 1741 in Shalbourne, Berkshire) were an English pioneer of the agriculture and as the father of the scientific agriculture are judged. He has responsibility for numerous improvements in the agriculture. In the special one here the SAE machine is to call (English seed twisting) (1708), by whose assistance the seed did not have to be strewn any longer simply over the soil. The SAE machine opened a hole of preset size, inserted a Saatkorn and locked the hole. Three rows were worked on at one time. The germinating rate as well as the yield were increased.
Tull invented in addition a heel pulled by a horse to the of weeds and brought changes into the appearance of the plow in the modern Design present is. Its interest in plowing came from its fight against weeds and his conviction that plants pull their food exclusively from the minerals of the soil and that organic enrichments are not necessary. It it was well-known that horse muck contains Unkrautsaat and hoped these as fertilizers to avoid in which it the soil pulverized around the minerals to make better accessible.
Despite this incorrect opinion in this point its inventions are part of the bases of the modern agriculture. Its inventions pushed at its time on little understanding and over many years were not used.
