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.

American Potato Journal, 1973
Minimum or reduced tillage has been of much interest because of increased efficiency in use of labor and equipment and reduction in time and costs. The effects of some minimum tillage practices on soil factors affecting the quality and yields of potatoes were studied in Aroostook County, Maine, during 1964 to 1969.

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.

Crop Rotation and Minimum Tillage
2018The increased soil moisture storage and the lower, more constant soil temperature associated with minimum tillage are undoubtedly two major factors accounting for the lower incidence of stalk rot in corn. Evidence indicates that crop rotations influence plant production by affecting soil fertility and survival of plant pathogens, physical properties of

Comparative tillage costs for crop rotations utilizing minimum tillage on a farm scale
Soil and Tillage Research, 1998Minimum tillage systems have been promoted for their soil conservation benefits, however, profitability is a major factor governing the adoption of soil conserving practices. Under conditions of similar crop productivity and input (i.e., fertilizer and pesticide) use, tillage costs become the key determinant of profitability. Two studies were conducted

The Chisel-Planter Minimum Tillage System
Transactions of the ASAE, 1983ABSTRACT A minimum tillage planting machine called the Chisel-Planter has been designed, constructed and tested for use in reducing erosion on the steep slopes of Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington. The drill uses vibrating chisel shanks to clear residue and to provide a seedbed.

Landownership and the Adoption of Minimum Tillage: Reply
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1985The comment by Heimlich correctly interprets the definition of the dependent variable, minimum tillage, in our analysis. The term minimum tillage did include the union of minimum tillage and residue management. The abbreviation to minimum tillage may have confused some readers. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify the definition.

Rice production and minimum tillage
Outlook on Agriculture, 1969The introduction of new high-yielding varieties and an increased usage of fertilizers and pesticides are beginning to have a significant effect on rice production in Asia. Shortage of water, power and time could, however, limit full exploitation of this new technology.
