Farmers can use disk type bund maker (boarder harrow) to make check basin irrigating the wheat crop by surface flooding methods. In permanent no-till plots farmers can retain these bunds for next season. When no-till system is practiced in combination with controlled traffic, there is no need to make bunds or check basin. With controlled traffic, tramlines serve as irrigation channel due to continued compaction by tractor.
