La culture sur billon consiste à semer la culture sur des rangs buttés et à laisser les résidus de culture au sol à l'automne pour éviter l'érosion. C'est une pratique de travail réduit du sol beaucoup moins répandue et plus difficile à mettre en place que le semis direct. Elle est utilisée notamment en production biologique pour éviter le recours aux herbicides. 1, record 1, French, - pratique%20de%20travail%20r%C3%A9duit%20du%20sol
