Conservation agriculture (CA) is based on minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover,
and crop rotation; it is promoted as a sustainable alternative to systems involving …

Tillage has been known to cause soil erosion and cost time and resources and this affects
productivity and inflates the cost of production. Therefore, over the past few years in many …

Maintenance and improvement of soil quality in continuous cropping systems is critical to

Two decades of extensive research and experimentation with zero‐till methods has allowed
“ideal” zero‐till systems to emerge in Brazil, involving no soil turning, maintenance of a …

Cropping systems in the northern Great Plains (NGP) have evolved from wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.)–fallow rotations to diversified cropping sequences. Diversification and …

Soil organic carbon (SOC), greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and water footprint (WF) are
the key indicators of environmental sustainability in agricultural systems. Increasing SOC …

Field experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of tillage and herbicides on weeds
and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori and Paol.) productivity under rice (Oryza sativa …

Human-induced soil degradation has led to declining yields and soil fertility in many parts of
the world. Conservation agriculture has been proposed as a strategy to ensure more …

Precision planters are more and more widely used for planting corn in China. Seed meters
