Description of the SLM Technology
Short description of the Technology
Zero tillage technology was developed to protect the soils from sealing rainfall, to achieve and maintain a open internal soil structure, to enhance biological processes in the soil, and to develop a means for safe disposal of any surface runoff that nevertheless will occur.
Detailed description of the Technology
No tillage with residual mulching is developed to minimally disturb soil structure, directly to sow in the residual mulching covered soils. The crop system is rotated. It is used to maintain the soil moisture and particles that would be moved by runoff and improve soil fertility.
