Zero tillage technology through wheat sowing is a special technique of establishing new crop without tillage and seedbed preparation. Wheat crop can be sown 10-15 days early as compared to conventional method of sowing. Paddy-wheat cropping system is the pre-dominant and most profitable cropping system and emerges as the major cropping system in the indo-gangetic plains leading to the Green Revolution. Punjab, Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh. The impact of zero-till ferti seed drill, was carried out in an area of 36.3 ha at former’s fields of different three blocks, Jaswantnager, Basrahar and Barhpura of Etawah district by stratified multi stage random sampling design. Zero tillage implies planting crops in previously unprepared soil. It is also known as zero till, No tillage, direct seeding. This ancient practice continuous to be followed by formers in developing countries. The zero tillage technique also improved the soil environment for crop growth, reduces erosion, conserve time, energy and decrease the cost of farming. Finally, the adaption of zero tillage technology improves farmer’s profit and eventually contributes towards reducing poverty and keeping environment clean. However, the long term impact of this technology on food production, natural resources and linkages with poverty alleviation should be further explored.
