NO INCORPORATION TILLAGE

Herbicides, especially glyphosate,, replace tillage operations under zero tillage. Reductions in cost of glyphosate have helped make the adoption of zero tillage more feasible.

Zero tillage eliminates pre-plant incorporated products from the weed control arsenal. High concentrations of residual-type herbicides used with tillage can be an environmental concern when considered with erosion. Postemergent herbicides applied under zero till can be used in spot or general applications as and if needed after emergence of the weeds.
