Top 3 Benefits of No-Till Planting
Although plowing is a traditional way to prepare for mechanical seedbeds, it can speed up the soil decomposition and destroy the weeds. A no till planter can help you get the advantages of no-till technology. This helps you drill the seeds directly into the soil without plowing. Since tilling of the soil can disrupt the weed's life cycle, an intensive no-tillage method can prove to be effective.
Compared to old times, the primitive nature could only determine the no-tillage practices. But in the recent days, no-till agriculture has been a major technique to especially due to environmental concerns.
Benefits of No-Till Planting
One of the biggest advantages of no-till technology is that it offers almost zero soil disturbance. Conventional plowing allows the top layer to go off before seeding.
Although it requires special equipment to make furrows, plant seeds and cover, the soil is able to minimise disturbance. At the same time, it reduces farming costs such as labor, fuel, machinery and irrigation.
Another benefit of no-tillage practice is the crop residue that is able to stay intact. Since crop residue is already there in the field surface from the previous year, it helps increase the soil moisture and reduce the evaporation.
As raindrops can damage the field, crop residue protects the surface by staying intact into the surface. Apart from that, it acts as a source of carbon that benefits soil organisms.
When it comes to no till planters, they can only create small passes that prevent compaction and surface crusting. This helps your plants to grow deep roots. Apart from that, the creation of airborne dust is very less compared to traditional plowing techniques. Apart from that, less frequent irrigation helps you eliminate herbicide leakage.
By improving the soil quality, no-tillage planting protects the soil from erosion, evaporation and structural breakdown. A no-till field often has more beneficial earthworms and a balanced microbial community that can eliminate disease. From limiting fossil fuel to avoiding human labor, it helps you maintain the tillage machine.
