* to combine the seeds and fertilizer application method.
-Advantages of minimum tillage
1) reduction in cost of cultivator
2) less time log between harvesting to sowing
3) less expense on heavy implement
-Disadvantage of minimum tillage
* about 10% less germination of crop from minimum tillage
2) Zero tillage
