Background Point: Tilling the soil, done in preparation for planting and for weed control,
can cause top soil to blow away or harden. Hard soil does not absorb water well, which
causes sediment, fertilizer, and chemicals to run into ground water. Excessive tillage is also
less suitable for growing healthy crops and reduces the ability of the land to support
beneficial insects and microorganisms living in the soil.
• Conservation tillage, which reduces the amount of soil disturbance, has been widely
adopted, with 63% of all U.S. farmland being treated with this technique. As of 2009,
two‐thirds (65%) of soybeans were being grown using conservation tillage, resulting in a
93% decline in soil erosion, and preserving an estimated 1 billion tons of top soil.
• A practice known as “no‐till farming”, which eliminates soil tillage, has increased 35%
since the introduction of biotechnology. It is more easily adopted with herbicide‐tolerant
crops (See below) because they eliminate or greatly reduce the need to till for weed control.
Herbicide‐Tolerant Crops: Crops that have been developed to survive (tolerate) exposure
to particular herbicides by the incorporation of certain gene(s), either through genetic
engineering or traditional breeding methods. The herbicide can therefore be applied to the
31
field for weed control without damaging the crop.
