u Lugisela mavu musi hu tshi khou ṱoḓa u ṱavhiwa

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.
