Define the term "zero tillage"
Answers
Answer:
■No-till farming (also called zero tillage or direct drilling) is a way of growing crops or pasture from year to year without disturbing the soil through tillage.
■No-till is an agricultural technique which increases the amount of water that infiltrates into the soil, the soil's retention of organic matter and its cycling of nutrients.
■In many agricultural regions, it can reduce or eliminate soil erosion. It increases the amount and variety of life in and on the soil, including disease-causing organisms and disease organisms.
■The most powerful benefit of no-tillage is improvement in soil biological fertility, making soils more resilient.
■ Farm operations are made much more efficient, particularly improved time of sowing and better trafficability of farm operations.
