No-till technology is the way to succeed in the agricultural business.

Dear friends,

We would like to tell you about a recent letter from the head of the No-till.ru project, farmer Mikhail Draganchuk.
Hello, PMG team!
In February, I visited Rostov for the 2nd International Training Forum on Direct Planting.
There were many interesting speakers and a lot of useful information. There I managed to get a few interviews.

Today I would like to bring to your attention a very interesting person - a video interview with Gustavo Tissen, an Argentine farmer working in the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina).
We are used to seeing Argentina as a country that has something and a lot of rainfall. It turns out that there are areas where there is not enough rainfall and they are very unstable. Gustavo Thyssen works in this field. In addition, the soil horizon here is very small (there are rocks at a depth of 50-60 cm).

However, even in such circumstances, its economy:

- Introduction of corn and soybeans for crop rotation, which were not previously grown in the region;
- reducing the dependence on the presence of moisture in the soil.

What are the features of the technology that allows for a sustainable harvest? In this interview, Gustavo talks about how the weed control system is built in such conditions, plant fertilization, changes in soil and economy:
