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 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.

The African Conservation Tillage Network Enhancing Conservation Tillage in Africa
2003Soil 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 is not a panacea, but it is one of the best ways yet found to meet our national priorities of soil and water conservation” (Meyers, 1983). These words by the former chief of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Soil Conservation Service corroborate the attitude of many persons regarding the potentials of this practice for

Furrow diking in conservation tillage
Agricultural Water Management, 2010Abstract Crop production in the Southeastern U.S. can be limited by water; thus, supplemental irrigation is needed to sustain profitable crop production. Increased water capture would efficiently improve water use and reduce supplemental irrigation amounts/costs, thus improving producer's profit margin.

Tillage and Conservation Agriculture
2019Tillage 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, No-Tillage and Related Technologies
2003There 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.

Conservation tillage and input use
Environmental Geology, 1997There continues to be a question as to the overall effectiveness of conservation tillage practices in reducing the impact of agricultural production on the environment. While it is generally recognized that water runoff and soil erosion will decline further, as tillage and mulch tillage systems are not used more extensively on cropland, what will ...
