Definition from
IFIC Foundation:
A methodology of crop production in which the farmer avoids mechanical cultivation (i.e., only one pass over the field). The plant residue remaining on the field’s surface helps to control weeds and reduce soil erosion, but it also provides sites for insects to shelter and reproduce, leading to a need for increased insect control.
Example sentences:
No-till farming, as its name indicates, does away with the mechanical churning of the soil between crops. Rather than being plowed under, agricultural wastes are left on top of the soil, where they decompose more slowly. (World Resources Institute)
The scientists found that certain activities, such as switching to no-till farming, may also increase crop yields while helping the environment. (U.S. Department of Agriculture's ARS)
Conventional tillage controls weed growth by plowing and cultivating, but no-till farming selectively uses herbicides to kill weeds and the remains of the previous crop. No-till farming is one of several primitive farming methods revived as conservation measures in the 20th century. (answers.com)

האי-עיבוד No-till (לא לעבד את הקרקע כלל) מתרחב בעולם מזה שני עשורים. האי-עיבוד עשוי לשפר את מבנה השכבות של הקרקע, לגרום לעלייה באחוז החומר האורגני, להפחית קרום בשכבה העליונה, לצמצם את הרס התלכידים ומבנה הקרקע ולהפחית עלויות וכוח אדם. (Israeli Cotton Growing Counsil)
