Application of special herbicides replaces tillage for weed control and thus enables farmers to have an 18 months fallow period (chemical fallow) after two crops have been taken over a 6 month period.
Yields are higher than conventional tillage.
Costs are lower than conventional tillage.
No-till technology reduces soil erosion.
Soil compaction is too reduced.
Increase in the water retention capacity of soil.
Precise in corporation of phosphate fertilizer beneath seeds.
Evaporation suppression or control.
Runoff reduction.
Application of crop residues in the No-till technology applied fields, increases soil organic matter and thus the amount of carbon sequestrated.
Balance in nutrient levels.
Minimal disturbance to the natural state of soil.
