Barley Stubble Mulcher
One Pass. Stubble Down.
TMC Cancela mulchers shred barley stubble at thicker stems and rigid nodes where slashers stall. Decomposition fast. Disease cycle broken.
- Shreds thick stems and rigid nodes
- Cuts decomposition time 30–50%
- Reduces net blotch and crown rot
- Even mulch for no-till seeding

BARLEY IS TOUGHER THAN WHEAT
Why barley stubble demands mulching
Barley stubble carries thicker stems and harder nodes than wheat. Standard slashers stall on the stalk-node junction. Standing residue persists through the fallow and blocks no-till seeders the following autumn.
Net blotch (Pyrenophora teres), scald (Rhynchosporium), and crown rot (Fusarium) all overwinter on intact straw. Each new crop inherits the inoculum.

Mulch incorporation accelerates breakdown
Shredding cuts decomposition time 30–50% by exposing more surface area to soil microbes. Fine residue settles flat — clean conditions for precision no-till seeding.
Disease carry-over stops at the mulcher
Net blotch, scald, and crown rot inoculum live inside intact straw. Mulching exposes the lesions to UV and soil microbes, accelerating breakdown.
Lower carry-over inoculum means less spray pressure and lower yield loss in the following barley or wheat crop.

Wide working widths for broadacre
The TGS and TGI cover broadacre paddocks fast on standard PTO tractors. Cropping country in WA, SA, Vic, and NSW gets through windrows quickly between harvest and pre-seeding rains.
