Measure summary

Low till agriculture, also known as conservation or reduced till applies to arable land. It consists of a combination of a crop harvest which leaves at least 30% of crop residue on the soil surface, during the critical soil erosion period and some surface work (low till). This slows water movement, which reduces the amount of soil erosion and potentially leads to greater infiltration.
