Economic efficiency of no-till soil cultivation technology is 10-28% higher — experience

With no-tillage cultivation, more moisture is retained in the soil, the risk of erosion is reduced, and the structure of the soil profile improves. Most importantly, the balance of soil microorganisms is restored, as aerobic and anaerobic microflora remain in their "natural" horizons. This contributes to increased soil fertility and long-term soil stability. This experience was shared by Andrii Lypnytskyi, Deputy Chief Agronomist of the Agro Department of "Epitsentr K" on Latifundist.com. "Epitsentr Agro" has completely abandoned plowing. Instead, they use deep loosening, chiseling, and no-till. As Andrii Lypnytskyi explains, this decision was based on the results of many years of production research and had both economic and environmental reasons. Firstly, due to the low amount of precipitation in most regions (210-400 mm of precipitation per season), plowing proved to be ineffective and led to a decrease in the yield of early grain and oilseed crops by 3-15%. For late-harvested ...
