 * See Minimum tillage. --←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 16:38, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That article does not state any disadvantages. --Viennese Waltz 09:54, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No-till farming is a better article which lists some disadvantages. Minimum tillage is a form of No-till farming, but not quite as radical. Xuxl (talk) 11:00, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Like no-till farming, but possibly to a lesser extent, "minimum tillage generally delays soil warming in spring", which in temperate climates can result in reduced nitrogen mineralization needed for plant growth. --Lambiam 11:44, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
 * One might suppose that disadvantages include not fully utilizing the positive effects of tillage. 2603:6081:1C00:1187:5F7:8109:BF29:EAE5 (talk) 19:37, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
