Detailed explanation-1: -No-till farming leaves residue after a harvest that protects the soil from being eroded away. Also, it leads to fewer issues with frost, better stability for water absorption, and any loss of soil can be replaced easily over time.
Detailed explanation-2: -The diverse rotation system works by keeping soil covered and undisturbed year-round. This minimizes soil erosion and reduces the need for fertilizers and herbicides, which keeps pollutants out of lakes and streams.
Detailed explanation-3: -they are reliably winter-killed, leaving a mulch for spring no-till planting, or. they die down naturally in time to plant summer vegetables. Their residues are sufficient to provide effective weed control in the subsequent vegetable crop. They provide habitat for natural enemies of vegetable crop pests.
Detailed explanation-4: -Reducing fuel, labor, and equipment costs are the biggest benefits of not doing any tillage. Improved soil structure is another big benefit. Erosion can be reduced by leaving more residue on the surface in the months when there are no crops growing. More items •07-Mar-2019
