reduced tillage

Reduced tillage is a farming practice that involves fewer disruptions to the soil during planting and cultivation. Instead of turning the soil over completely, farmers use methods that disturb only a part of it or none at all. This approach helps preserve soil structure, retain moisture, reduce erosion, and promote a healthier ecosystem. By minimizing soil disturbance, reduced tillage can improve crop yields and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, ultimately leading to more sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices.
