אי-עיבוד
English term
no-till farming
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)

בחקלאות השדה מקובל לעבד את הקרקע לחרוש, לקלטר, לדסקס ועוד. בישראל במשך 5 שנים (2004-2008), בוצע מחקר חקלאי בנושא - אי עיבוד והשפעתו על הכותנה . (Kibbutz Kfra Masaryk community bulletin)
האי-עיבוד No-till (לא לעבד את הקרקע כלל) מתרחב בעולם מזה שני עשורים. האי-עיבוד עשוי לשפר את מבנה השכבות של הקרקע, לגרום לעלייה באחוז החומר האורגני, להפחית קרום בשכבה העליונה, לצמצם את הרס התלכידים ומבנה הקרקע ולהפחית עלויות וכוח אדם. (Israeli Cotton Growing Counsil)
