During my visit to the Lviv region, I was impressed by the weather. It was more like the southern part of Ukraine – sunny and windy, which makes the soil quickly lose moisture and dry out. However, the plants on the fields of AGROosnovy Farm, both winter and spring, seem to be oblivious to these weather disasters. All crops are …
Driving by this field, it’s hard to imagine that anything has been sown here. It’s even harder to imagine that a crop has been sown here, the sprouts of which everyone is used to seeing only on a black field. However, it is already a common practice for no-tiller Vitaliy Rudchenko to see sugar beet sprouting on untreated soil covered …

Soil degradation has reached global proportions and threatens the world’s food security. According to the UN, up to 40% of the world’s land is degraded. The main reason is excessive mechanical tillage, which destroys soil structure, accelerates erosion and loss of fertility. Currently, one of the most effective solutions for stabilizing and regenerating degraded land is No-till technology, which involves …

I would like to thank all the participants …
Looking to the future, I see no-till and organic (biological) farming technologies as the most promising. But some scientists who support organic farming often try to oppose biological no-till technology. For some reason, they choose neither traditional nor intensive farming, but zero-till farming as the object of criticism (or comparison). Although I don’t quite understand why they are “attacking” no-till. …
The tailwind blows only into the sails of that ship, that knows exactly where it is going. (Eastern wisdom) Sometimes you can see the following picture: people switch to No-till technology, work for several years, but when they encounter some difficulties and fail to solve them, they get frustrated and return to more traditional methods of tillage. As a rule, …

When seed drill sellers talk about this, I understand why they …
