No-Till in Bulgaria: Myths, Reality and What Actually Works

Interest in No-Till is growing.

However, many misconceptions still exist.

“No-Till doesn’t work here”

It does.

But it requires adaptation, not imitation.

“Yields drop”

Short-term variability is possible.

Long-term results are more stable and resilient.

“Weeds get out of control”

Weed control changes, but it does not disappear.

It requires strategy.

“Only for large farms”

No-Till works for all farm sizes.

“Requires expensive equipment”

It requires the right equipment.

But that equipment pays back through efficiency and reduced costs.

No-Till is not a myth.

It is a system.

And when applied correctly, it works.
