The Zero-tillage technology is economic, time saving, increase fertilizer use efficiency and acceptable to the farmers of district Maharajgang of U.P. Good performance of wheat crop sown with Zero-tillage during Rabi 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 in the district Maharajganj of Uttar Pradesh resulted in to positive attitude of farmers as well as field functionaries toward this technology. The finding have clearly established that wheat sowing can be advanced at least 10-12 days over conventional tillage (broadcasting method), enabling to harvest an advantage that can not be obtained by using varieties recommended for late sown condition. The critical examination of field observation revealed that the technology has merit for promotion and technical feasibility with an opportunity for providing self-employment through custom hiring services. Subject to further investigation on long term impact of the technology on soil health and productivity of the system, it definitely provides answer for economic security in future specially with multifarious use of the machine in the district Maharajganj of U.P. and also opening new vistas for resource conservation whether fuel, crop residues, seed, water, fertilizer, manpower or wear and tear of machinery are concerned. The results have also shown an increase in productivity of the wheat ranging from 0.8 to 3.00 q/ha.
