Usage in Zambia
A zero tillage method means planting crops on a previously untilled soil. Most African countries are suffering from sandy soils that tend to get compacted, water-logging risks, short-growing seasons, and effects of climate change. These challenges can be countered by adopting the zero tillage method. The zero tillage pneumatic planter is available at Tractors PK, the leading tractor dealers in Africa.
