Economic Assessment of No-Till Farming Systems
2020This chapter considers the nature of the economic benefits of no-till (NT) based farming systems. The focus is on capturing the full costs of resource inputs associated with NT in achieving desired changes in productivity and resource use efficiency. We attempt to place available evidence within a broader framework of economic assessment.

No-Till Farming Systems in Australia
2020Australia has witnessed a remarkable transformation in land management over 50 years, as the technologies enabling no-till (NT) evolved and they were adapted by farmers to their own situations. The history of NT innovation reveals enduring principles regarding the value of collaboration between farmers and researchers and the need to develop NT as part

Seedbed refers to “the physical state of the surface soil which affects the germination and emergence of crop seeds,” while tilth is “the physical condition of soil as related to its ease of tillage, fitness as a seedbed, and its impedance to seedling emergence and root penetration.” (SSSA, 2008). The concept of soil tilth is still evolving.

No-Till Farming Systems in South Asia
2020Among the resource conservation technologies, no-till (NT) farming systems have been in limelight since the 1980s around the globe. The potential of NT may be questionable for South Asian countries because the majority of the farmers are small land holders who practice rainfed farming, are resource-poor, and are faced with the shrinking cultivable land

No-Till Farming Systems in Europe
2020No-tillage (NT)systems in Europe share three main characteristics: they are driven by pioneering farmers, dependent on peer-to-peer extension activities, and are becoming more popular. There is a growing body of natural and social science research highlighting the importance of science-farmer social learning networks to achieve sustainable agriculture ...

"No-Till" Farming Is a Growing Practice
2010Most U.S. farmers prepare their soil for seeding and weed and pest control through tillage—plowing operations that disturb the soil. Tillage practices affect soil carbon, water pollution, and farmers’ energy and pesticide use, and therefore data on tillage can be valuable for understanding the practice’s role in reaching climate and other environmental

Controlling Soil Erosion Using No-Till Farming Systems
2020Soil erosion is a natural phenomenon that has been thrown off balance by human activity and particularly by agriculture. It is associated with severe environmental impacts, high economic costs, reduced productivity and thus influences food security as well as social and economic development.

No-Till Farming Systems in North America
2020The no-till (NT) farming system is one of the prominent conservation management practices used to reduce soil erosion, sustain crop yields, and improve soil health and environmental quality. The NT system has variable effect on crop yields and soil and environmental quality compared to conventional tillage (CT) system, depending on soil and climatic ...
