What is the No-till farming ?
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 and increases organic matter retention
and cycling of nutrients in the soil. 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 suppression 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.
No-till improves soil quality (soil function), carbon, organic matter,
aggregates, protecting the soil from erosion, evaporation of water and
structural breakdown.
A reduction in tillage passes helps prevent the compaction of soil.

No-till Seeders are used for the raw grain stubble after harvest and
fertilizer directly to the desired weight and centimetres (cm) range has
the ability to make planting.
Using this machine prevents stubble fires, conserves time, labor fuel
and water.
