Minimum tillage
Minimum tillage is a
type of tillage that involves minimal soil disturbance compared to conventional
tillage. Tillage can be reduced in two ways: 1) Omitting some of the operations
that do not give satisfactory benefit. For example, nursery bed raising can be
eliminated and rice seeds can be directly sown in the main field, and 2)
Combining the agricultural operations viz., seeding and fertilizer application
using seed cum fertilizer drill.
