Minimal mechanical soil disturbance

Minimal mechanical soil disturbance

In this episode, Andrew Ardington, Henk de Beer and Rens Smit explore the principles of direct seeding or planting. In conservation tillage, this is synonymous with no- till farming, zero tillage, no-tillage, and direct drilling. It involves growing crops without mechanical seedbed preparation and with minimal soil disturbance since the harvest of the previous crop. From the precise placing of large seeds to equipment and land preparation, we discuss minimal mechanical soil disturbance as one of the core pillars of conservation agriculture.
