Minimum tillage results in a larger development of soil microbes in the undisturbed sub-layers of the soil than in a vineyard where vineyard rows have been cleaned. Here, cover crops are planted to reduce moisture loss and increase organic matter in the soil.
Eka malembe lawa yotala, kuve na kufamba famba kotala swinene eka tillage yale mapurasini. Muxaka lowu wa tillage awu kavanyeti misava eka purasi lerikulu. Leswi swinga vulaleswaku ndzhawu hinkwayo leyingana swimilani leswi byariweke kuva swipfuneta eka misinya leyi swifanele kuva swidlayiwa hinkarhi mirhi yingase hluka. Loko ku endliwe Minimum tillage swivula leswaku akuna michini yorima hiyona leyinga tirhisiwaka kurima misava ehansi ka misinya ya madiriva xikan’we nale xikarhi ka yona kumbe kunga tirhisiwa michini leyintsongo kutsemelela kumbe kulawula nhova.
Kulawula nhova hi tikhemikali swinga tirhisiwa kusivela kutirhisiwa ka michini leyi lawulaka nhova naswimilani swin’wani. Kuya hi vulavisisi kukumeke leswaku minimum tillage yi endla leswaku kuva na kutumbuluka lokukulu ka ti microbes eka misava leyinga kavanyetiweku kutlula eka misava leyinga emasinwini yamadiriva lawa yanga basisiwa. Kutlhele kukumiwa leswaku kutirhisiwa ka tikhemikali leti herisaka mitsembyani swiendla leswaku misava yitiyela swinene laha henhla naswona swiendla leswaku misava yingavi na swakudya.
