When we use no-till, we must use herbicides to control weeds in our crops. Strategic use of herbicides in conjunction with no-till will allow us to write a new chapter in the history of agriculture – a chapter where agriculture does not destroy the soil resource, but instead improves it, as the need for steady grain supply continues to rise around the world. Herbicides have made no-till crop production possible, and we can now grow great crops without leaving the soil prone to erosion, structural degradation and depleted fertility.
