No-till farming directly sows seeds into the ground with minimal disturbance.

• A. It directly sows seeds into ground with minimal disturbance
• B. It tills the soil before seeding
• C. It uses flood irrigation
• D. It uses chemical fumigation

Answer: (A)

No-till farming centers on seeding with very little soil disturbance. Equipment designed for no-till places seeds directly into the ground through a narrow slit or trench while leaving most of the crop residue on the soil surface intact. This approach helps preserve soil structure, reduces erosion, and improves moisture retention and germination conditions since the soil isn’t turned over or exposed to air and temperature fluctuations as much as in conventional tillage. It also tends to use less fuel and create less soil compaction.

The other ideas describe actions that aren’t defining features of no-till: tilling the soil before seeding, using flood irrigation, or applying soil fumigants. Each of those involves different practices that aren’t what no-till is about.
