Landownership and the Adoption of Minimum Tillage [PDF]
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1983 AbstractFull‐owner operators and landowners with small holdings have lower minimum tillage adoption rates on cultivated cropland than do other landownership groups after accounting for land quality and regional location. Nonfamily corporate structure does not significantly influence the adoption decision.

Participatory conservation tillage research: an experience with minimum tillage on an Ethiopian highland Vertisol [PDF]
Agriculture, Ecosystems and 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.

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.
