Ecol Group 6 Flashcards
the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide to reduce atmospheric levels and mitigate climate change, using natural or engineered methods for long-term storage.
Carbon Sequestration
practices that protect soil from erosion and nutrient loss, supporting its health and long-term productivity
Soil Conservation
specialized seed drills or planters designed to insert seeds directly into the soil with minimal disturbance
No-till drill/planter
hand tool used to loosen and aerate soil deeply without disturbing its layers, helping to prevent compaction and improve root penetration in no-till farming
Broadfork
clears crop residues and plant debris from seed row, ensuring proper seed-to-soil contact.
Row Cleaner
What are the benefits of No-Till Farming?
Prevents soil erosion
Enhances water retention
Preserves soil structure
involves switching the type of crops grown in a specific area over successive seasons
Crop Rotation
The practice of growing multiple crops or raising different livestock on the same land
Polyculture
What are the benefits of Crop Rotation?
Disrupts pest life cycle
Minimize pesticide use
Prevents nutrient depletion
Improves soil structure
an agricultural technique that minimizes soil disturbance to grow crops
No-Till Farming
used to flatten cover crops without tilling the soil , creating mulch layer over the field
Roller or Crimper
What are the disadvantages of No-Till Farming
Weed pressure
Risk of Diseases
Requires specific equipment
