Effect of Different Tillage Techniques on Productivity of Wheat

Conservation technique is defined as any tillage and planting system that leaves less than 30% of crop stubble over the soil surface after sowing. Zero-tillage technology enhances the wheat yield as compared other tillage practices and facilitates less use of machinery and hence energy can be saved through less consumption of fuel. It performs better as compared to other tillage practice because it is very cheap as output obtained from this system is higher than other tillage systems and also this technology is environment-friendly.
