Abstract
The no-tillage system, where soils are neither tilled nor cultivated, has a number of advantages. Studies in Kentucky and in other states show much lower erosion under no tillage as compared with conventional tillage. In addition, fuel, machinery, and time savings are all impressive when the no-tillage system is used. There is also a tendency toward better crop yields due to higher water capture and/or conservation that is associated with the mulch of crop residues that is maintained on the soil surface in no tillage.
