Agriculture
Additional field(s): Environment & Ecology
English term or phrase: no-till farming
Definition from IFIC Foundation:
A methodology of crop production in which the farmer avoids mechanical cultivation (i.e., only one pass over the field). The plant residue remaining on the field’s surface helps to control weeds and reduce soil erosion, but it also provides sites for insects to shelter and reproduce, leading to a need for increased insect control.

Example sentence(s):
  • No-till farming, as its name indicates, does away with the mechanical churning of the soil between crops. Rather than being plowed under, agricultural wastes are left on top of the soil, where they decompose more slowly. World Resources Institute
  • The scientists found that certain activities, such as switching to no-till farming, may also increase crop yields while helping the environment. U.S. Department of Agriculture's ARS
  • Conventional tillage controls weed growth by plowing and cultivating, but no-till farming selectively uses herbicides to kill weeds and the remains of the previous crop. No-till farming is one of several primitive farming methods revived as conservation measures in the 20th century. answers.com

neariminė žemdirbystė


Definition from own experience or research:
Neariminė žemdirbystė - tai minimalaus žemės dirbimo technologija. Laukas neariamas, o žemės ūkio atliekos paliekamos dirvos paviršiuje, kur jos suyra lėčiau. Taip dirva apsaugoma nuo piktžolių ir erozijos, tačiau sudaromos sąlygos daugintis vabzdžiams, todėl reikalinga didesnė vabzdžių kontrolė.

Example sentence(s):
  • Prieš keletą metų paaiškėjo, kad, taikant neariminę žemės dirbimo technologiją, kas keletą metų būtina sujudinti suslėgtą dirvą – taip atsirado giluminiai purentuvai, kurie ne tik sujudina dirvą, bet pagerina vandens nutekėjimą į drenažo sistemas, tada mažiau darbo tenka melioratoriams, mažiau išmirkusių pasėlių. Mano galva, ši technologija plėsis, o technikos gamybos ir tiekimo įmonės turi tobulinti ir propaguoti neariminės žemdirbystės technologiją. - manoukis.lt  
  • Neariminės technologijos esmė – didesnis darbų našumas, 20–30 proc. mažesni kaštai, geresnė piktžolių kontrolė, gerėja dirvos struktūra, dirvoje padaugėja mikroorganizmų ir sliekų, pasiekiamas optimalus dirvos drėgmės balansas, nevyksta erozija. - valstieciulaikrastis.lt
