Increases in human populations and the emerging challenges of climate change mean that
the world's agricultural systems will need to produce more food in an environment that is …

Conservation agriculture involves reduced tillage, permanent soil cover and crop rotations to
enhance soil fertility and to supply food from a dwindling land resource. Recently …

Conservation agriculture (CA) is characterized by minimal soil disturbance, diversified crop
rotations, and surface crop residue retention to reduce soil and environmental degradation …

The efficacy of no-till agriculture for increasing C in soils has been questioned in recent
studies. This is a serious issue after many publications and reports during the last two …

Crop yield potential with conservation agriculture (CA) in rainfed systems is often greater
than with conventional tillage (CVT) systems, particularly where sub-optimal rainfall limits …

With increasing world population, there is an evident pressure on food production demand
at the expense of environment. Maximizing yields at environmental cost is quite high …

Given the pressures on land to produce ever more food, doing it 'sustainably'is growing in
importance. However,'sustainable agriculture'is complex to define, not least because …

Rain-fed agriculture is an important part of the global agriculture system and plays a vital
role in ensuring food security. Conservation tillage (CT) is widely used in USA maize …

Soil can be degraded by several natural or human-mediated processes, including wind,
water, or tillage erosion, and formation of undesirable physical, chemical, or biological …

No tillage (NT) is often presented as a means to grow crops with positive environmental
externalities, such as enhanced carbon sequestration, improved soil quality, reduced soil …
