Minimum Performance Standards of Tillage Implements
Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology, 2020 This article focuses on formulation of minimum performance standards (MPS) for tillage machinery such as rotavator, disc harrow and cultivator. The required minimum performance standard of different tillage machinery under sandy loam soil condition is discussed further in this paper and recommended in order to ensure availability of quality tillage ...

Participatory conservation tillage research: an experience with minimum tillage on an Ethiopian highland Vertisol [PDF]
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2003 Abstract Farmer participatory tillage trials were conducted in a highland Vertisol area of Ethiopia during the 1999 and 2000 cropping seasons. This participatory initiative clearly demonstrated that incorporating farmers’ knowledge, ideas and preferences could improve the wheat production package.

Justification of technologies of minimum (surface) tillage [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 With the modern development of agricultural production, the introduction of resource-saving technologies, technologies based on intelligent systems, there is a need to introduce a system of machines for the implementation of surface tillage technologies (mini-till, no-till). The main factor largely determining the choice of an agricultural machine, its

Pesticide runoff from conventional tillage, minimum tillage, and no-tillage cropping systems: Meta-analysis of published North American data. [PDF]
J Environ QualAbstractPesticide applications may soon be regulated by laws predicated on the presupposition that reducing tillage, and thereby increasing soil surface crop residue cover, decreases sorbed and soluble agrochemical losses in surface runoff and erosion.
