NON SUSTAINABLE USE OF SOILS
Intensive tillage leaves the soil bare
and unprotected...
...and exposes the soil to climatic
agents and erosion.
NO- TILLAGE PROTECTS THE SOIL AGAINST EROSION
Special no- till planters cut through
crop residues and plant into soil
without ploughing or disking.
Crop residues left on the surface protect
against erosion and loss of soil moisture.
