Conservation Tillage Methods and Direct SeedingIncreasing energy cost and erosion due to intensive soil tillage led to farmers and the scientists to find an alternative tillage systems.For this purpose, conservation tillage methods were developed.The objective of this method is to reduce the intensity of the tillage application while covering 30 % of the soil surface with residue.Conservation tillage consists of strip-tillage, plant-tillage, mulch-tillage, minimum tillage, and direct seeding.Secondary tillage tools could be used in direct seeding method for second fertilization, furrow opening, and ridging.One of the other application in direct seeding is zero tillage in which no tillage is made during the whole vegetation period of the plant.In this method, 40 % energy is saved.
