Why do farmers harvesting good crops with intensive tillage, say that “No-till farmers are lazy farmers”?
Yes, “No-till farms look untidy” in the initial stages of crop growth. Ridiculous comments on practitioners of No-till agriculture epitomizes a symptomatic problem arising from a deep rooted belief that tillage is the only way to create soil fertility. However, development of no-till agriculture and its adoption in more than 55 million hectares globally clearly brings out that no-till/ zero-till agriculture is an efficient strategy for management of land and water resources for producing more at reduced costs.
