In this study we seek to provide quantitative evidence of soil fertility benefits of employing no-till agricultural practices in place of standard conventional tilling. Through confirming practical methodologies that can be reproducible, we seek to validate simpler analytical methods in place of expensive or inaccessible soil testing. To do so we will collect various samples from the same geographical region and perform contract analysis and hands on laboratory techniques to quantify soil properties such as organic matter content, nutrient concentrations, and microbial biomass activity. We will present our findings in the form of a poster to demonstrate experimental practices and the differences between no-till and conventional till agricultural methods. This study is performed with the expectation that local farmers will have better access to soil chemical characteristics in relation to the farming practices they choose to employ.
