Skipping the plowing step saves time, fuel, and labour while improving soil health and moisture retention. Many farmers have seen better wheat and rice yields and fewer weeds, making it a practical and sustainable choice.

]]> Can zero tillage farming increase crop yields? https://www.smsfoundation.org/ufaq/can-zero-tillage-farming-increase-crop-yields/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=can-zero-tillage-farming-increase-crop-yields Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:43:08 +0000 https://www.smsfoundation.org/?post_type=ufaq&p=13427 Yes, zero tillage farming can increase crop yields by improving soil health, retaining moisture, and reducing erosion. By minimizing soil disturbance, this method promotes better water infiltration and enhances the availability of nutrients for crops. This practice can lead to a significant improvement in productivity, especially in areas prone to water stress or soil degradation.

Unlike traditional methods that require multiple rounds of ploughing, zero tillage directly plants seeds into undisturbed soil, preserving the soil structure and promoting better water retention.
