The adoption of conservation tillage in China
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2010Conservation 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
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.

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.

Conservation tillage in the subarctic
Soil and Tillage Research, 1986Abstract 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.

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.

The Environmental benefits and costs of conservation tillage
Environmental Geology, 1998Every production practice, including conservation tillage, has positive or negative environmental consequences that may involve air, land, water, and/or the health and ecological status of wildlife. The negative impacts associated with agricultural production, and the use of conventional tillage systems in particular, include soil erosion, energy use ...

“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
