No-till, direct seeding
There is no form of tillage prior to sowing in the production area. When sowing, the disc or cultivator sowing unit opens the soil surface only to the extent necessary to form the seed furrows and then recompacts the seed trench. The required nutrients are applied to the seed in a single operation, either in liquid and/or solid form, next to or under the seed. Subsequent addition of nutrients can be done by injection or foliar application.
