Notill farming reduces erosion from "summary" of Growing a Revolution by David R Montgomery
Notill farming reduces erosion by leaving crop residue on the soil surface, which acts as a protective cover against the impact of raindrops and wind. This residue helps to shield the soil from erosion by reducing the velocity and force of water runoff. In conventional tillage systems, the soil is left bare after plowing, making it more vulnerable to erosion. By practicing notill farming, farmers can significantly reduce the risk of soil erosion and improve soil health.
Moreover, the roots of crops play a crucial role in holding the soil together and preventing erosion. In notill farming, the roots of previous crops are left intact, providing a network of organic matter that helps bind the soil particles. This network of roots creates ...
