I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be
tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.
The practices of conventional tillage (CT) for wheat after rice harvest involves drudgery with cultivator or sub soiling/deep tillage implements to provide fine porous seedbed for wheat cultivation which is tedious job in term of economics and labor (Iqbal et al., 2002).
Zero tillage technology is proving to be conducive in increasing the crop production and net income.
Agricultural intensification in terms of high-yielding crop varieties, excessive tillage and imbalances in fertilisation, irrigation and pesticide use has contributed substantially to increase crop production.
We hypothesise that CA practices would have positive effects on soil properties (such as soil aggregation, aggregate stability and SOC) and crop yields compared with conventional tillage (CT) practices in rainfed regions of central India.
Results revealed that CA practices, zero tillage (ZT) with or without residues retention significantly improved the soil moisture content (SMC) and modified the soil temperature (ST) before and after irrigation in both the cropping (P a$?

1 needed to learn the process of
tillage, as well as acquire some additional equipment.
Rafiqul Islam, a farmer of Pirijpur village under Godagari Upazila, cultivated garlic on a 10-decimal land using the zero
tillage method on trial basis in 2016 and he got a bumper yields.
Tillage practices in cropping systems have been part of most agricultural systems throughout history [8].
An onslaught of the weed Palmer amaranth in the southeastern United States has left many farmers with a difficult choice: Should they keep using environmentally friendly cover crops and conservation
tillage, allowing Palmer amaranth to cut into their yields, or should they switch to conventional
tillage?
The aims of this study were to determine how the
tillage system and residual N of soil affected chickpea yield and its trait in rotation with wheat under Central Anatolia Region.
Tillage is vital feature for crop production and farm management.
Wheat is then planted in these structurally disturbed soils, often after many
tillage operations to prepare the seedbed or increasingly with little soil disturbance using zero-till seed drills.
