Agriculture
Additional field(s): Environment & Ecology
English term or phrase: no-till farming
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 sentence(s):
  • 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

Pløjefri dyrkning


Definition from own experience or research:
Pløjefri dyrkning, også kaldet reduceret jordbehandling, indebærer at man minimerer mekanisk jordbehandling og bevarer et plantedække eller planterester oven på jorden.

Example sentence(s):
  • Mange landmænd har fra tid til anden forsøgt sig med pløjefri dyrkning i håbet om at kunne reducere de omkostninger der er forbundet med etablering af en afgrøde. - dlg  
  • På arealer, hvor pløjefri jordbehandling kombineret med ensidig hvededyrkning praktiseres, kan Gold Hejre blive et meget tabsvoldende ukrudtsproblem over hele arealet. - Planteværn Online  
  • Hvad er reduceret jordbearbejdning? Et andet ofte anvendt ord er ”pløjefri” jordbehandling, men det giver ingen mening, hvis man så til gengæld harver mere dybt og mange gange. - Jysk Landbrugsraadgivning
