CASI Visual Syllabus Chapter One

Series of ‘How Do I’ videos on how to correctly implement CASI from both farmer and service provider viewpoints.

In Chapter 1, the stories focus on how two fictional farming families learned about CASI and its Service provision. The videos follow their initial hesitance, observation of the benefits, and eventually their decision to change.

(1.1) How Do I Become a Zero Till Farmer?

This story focuses on how a fictional farming family learned about CASI. It follows their initial hesitance, observation of the benefits of changing to Zero tillage, and eventually their decision to change, though interacting with a friend who has already started applying a Zero Tillage system.

(1.2) How Do I Become a Zero Till Service Provider?

This story focuses on how a fictional farming family learned about CASI Service provision. It follows their initial hesitance, observation of the benefits of running a Zero tillage business, and eventually their decision to provide Zero Tillage services.

CASI Visual Syllabus Chapter Two

Series of ‘How Do I’ videos on how to correctly implement CASI from both farmer and service provider viewpoints.

In Chapter 2, the short videos focus on the technical aspect of Zero Tillage Machine like points to consider before using zero till, how to prepare a field for zero-till, things to consider while preparing the Zero tillage machine for maize, how to calibrate the Zero Tillage machine, how to safely prepare to use herbicides, how to safely and effectively spray herbicides, and important points to remember to maintain a zero tillage machine that will ensure a long and productive drill life.

(2.1) How Do I know if I can do zero till?

Not all fields are the same, and not all fields may be appropriate for zero tillage. This video highlights the points to consider before using zero till.

(2.2) How Do I prepare my field for Zero Till?

The next step is to make sure the field is ready. This video is about the points to consider while preparing a field for zero till.

(2.3) How Do I Prepare a Zero Till Machine for Maize?

Preparing a Zero Till Machine properly is crucial for optimum performance. This video highlights the points to consider while preparing the Zero tillage machine for maize.

(2.4) How Do I Calibrate a Zero Till Machine?

Zero Tillage Machines need to be calibrated correctly before implementing in the field. This video highlights the points to remember while calibrating the Zero Tillage machine.

(2.5) How Do I safely prepare to use herbicides?

Herbicides are usually required in zero tillage but they can be dangerous. It is important to prepare and dress correctly. For users’ safety, this video highlights the points to consider while preparing to use herbicides.

(2.6) How Do I safely mix and spray herbicides?

This video calls attention to how to safely and effectively spray herbicides which can be key to the success of zero tillage for both user and their crop.

(2.7) How Do I maintain a Zero Till Machine?

Maintaining a zero tillage machine is integral to ensuring on-going performance, both for businesses and farmers. This video highlights important points to remember to maintain a zero tillage machine that will ensure a long and productive drill life.
