Advantage and disadvantage of No-tillage farming

Advantages :- 1. Higher yield:- No-till can increase yield because of higher water infiltration and storage capacity, and less erosion. Acc. To KFMA programs the yield per acre of corn soybean, wheat, and grain sorghum for no till farms has a higher yield  than the average yield from other tillage practice  for the same region and crop .  2.
