The primary disadvantage of no-till farming is the need for
specialized sowing equipment designed to plant seeds into
undisturbed soil and crop residues. Because no-till is a relatively
new technique, new and different equipment has to be purchased
or hired. The price of the no-till seeders is the main limitation to
no-till in Turkey. Modifying the conventional seeders commonly
used in Turkey may be a key factor in the shift to no-till sowing.Our
objective was to evaluate possibilities of using a conventional
precision seeder equipped with hoe and double disc furrow
openers for no-till sowing of maize and soybean.
