Conservation Tillage

Science, 1985
Conservation production systems combine tillage and planting practices to reduce soil erosion and loss of water from farmland. Successful conservation tillage practices depend on the ability of farm managers to integrate sound crop production practices with effective pest management systems.

The adoption of conservation tillage in China

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2010
Conservation tillage (CT) has been recognized as an advanced agricultural technology that may reduce drought and improve the physical condition of soils worldwide. An increase in water infiltration and a reduction in water and wind erosion can be achieved through the use of no‐tillage, minimum tillage, and residue cover.

The African Conservation Tillage Network Enhancing Conservation Tillage in Africa

2003
Soil tillage by hoe or plough was identified as one of the principal causes of soil degradation in vast regions of Africa. Inspired by the impressing spread of no-tillage practices in Latin America GTZ conducted a study on the potential of no-tillage practices in sub-Saharan Africa.

Conservation Tillage Study

2015
The project goal was to compare yields of three different tillage systems on a sloping, moderately well-drained soil (Nira), and on a nearly level, poorly-drained soil (Kalona) in a continuous corn and a corn-soybean system. These plots were started in 1990 and have continued to the present.

Tillage and Conservation Agriculture

2019
Tillage is controversial but for generation after generation there was no debate: farmers ploughed as their forbears had ploughed, only more thoroughly. Pros: weeds and pests are controlled by breaking their life cycle—briefly; ploughing breaks up a crusted surface and compacted topsoil—briefly; creates a seed bed; and releases plant nutrients through ...

Conservation tillage in the subarctic

Soil and Tillage Research, 1986
Abstract Three tillage practices were compared on a subarctic silt-loam soil to evaluate whether conservation tillage could be used effectively to reduce soil losses from wind erosion without delaying crop maturity or reducing yield. Urea and ammonium nitrate were also compared as sources of fertilizer nitrogen.

Conservation Tillage, No-Tillage and Related Technologies

2003
There is increasing awareness all over the world of the negative effects of conventional agriculture and the need to change traditional agricultural practices. The key problem of conventional agriculture faces, especially in the tropics, is the steady decline in soil fertility, which is closely correlated to the duration of soil use.
