#7 Research Facts: no-till farming
No-till farming is an agricultural method supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and other organizations from the standpoint of environmental conservation.
Land degradation is a phenomenon in which the surface grasses are lost and the topsoil is washed away by wind, rain, etc., resulting in wasteland.
In 1943, American Edward Faulkner wrote Plowman's Folly. In his book, he pointed out that plowing, which had long been considered a fundamental and customary agricultural practice, was an unprofitable practice that only destroyed the soil, and that fertile soil could be maintained by simply mixing organic matter into the topsoil.
In Canada, 33 percent of farms in 1991 and 60 percent in 2001 adopted no-till or conservation tillage. In the United States, conservation tillage was practiced on 41 percent of all farms and no-till on 23 percent in 2004.
So far, only about 5 percent of the planet's farmland is under no-till cultivation.
The benefits of no-till cultivation include
1, Carbon sequestration. 2, Biodiversity conservation in the field. 3、Reduction of production costs through labor and fuel savings in production, etc.
Furthermore, soil ecology research, which began in earnest in the 21st century, is advancing and providing important data for global environmental issues and the biodiversity hypothesis.
1. Accelerated soil carbon and nitrogen cycling rates
2, Soil nitrogen cycling is facilitated by animals. Experiments with millipedes, earthworms, and horseflies
3, Weed suppression and methane gas suppression by aquatic earthworms were lost.
4、As an effect on greenhouse gases, the formation of clusters has conflicting effects on CO2 release and increased CH4 absorption.
No-till and herbaceous cultivation has been shown to be a system that preserves soil biodiversity and achieves sustainable biological production through its work.
