No-Till Farming Systems in the Canadian Prairies
2020The Canadian prairies account for about 85% of Canada’s arable land. Historically, cropping systems were primarily summer fallow-cereal based, which led to severe soil degradation, loss of productivity, and negative environmental consequences. Efforts were taken by all stakeholders to arrest this grave situation, and one of the key measures was ...

No-Till Farming Systems in Southern Africa
2020No-till (NT) farming, as part of a Conservation Agriculture (CA) system, has been practiced for more than 30 years in southern Africa. In contrast to other regions, and with the exception of South Africa, it has been mostly on smallholder farms, which are more diverse and complex.

Managing Crop Rotations in No-till Farming Systems
2020Crop rotation is an important pillar of no-till (NT) cropping systems for soil fertility management, and pests and disease control. In this chapter, the potential benefits of crop rotations under NT systems are discussed and challenges highlighted, including possible solutions where it was practical to do so.

No-Till Farming Systems for Sustaining Soil Health
2020Agriculture in the next decades will have to produce more food on less land and purchased production inputs by making more efficient use of natural and applied resources. The practice of no-tillage (NT) is briefly described and its effect on physical, chemical, and biological properties and processes and how these led the transition from NT only to ...

No-till Farming Systems for Sustainable Agriculture: An Overview
2020No-till (NT) farming systems have revolutionized agriculture by improving erosion control, soil water storage, soil quality and, in many instances, yield and net farm income. The adoption of NT systems has increased at an exponential rate since the 1990s and they are now used on 12.5% of global croplands.

No-Till Farming Systems for Enhancing Soil Water Storage
2020No-till (NT) management has been a successful soil management practice for many decades due to its ability to increase sustainable agricultural production practices through reduced soil erosion. Utilizing this NT conservation practice helps enhance the sustainability of crop production systems.

No-Till Farming Systems in Rain-Fed Areas of China
2020In China, rain-fed (dryland) agriculture is practiced in the North China Plain as well as parts of northeast and northwest China, accounting for 51% of the total arable land. However, this region is facing an increasing rate of environmental degradation, soil erosion, and water shortage.

Enhancing Soil Aggregation in No-Till Farming Systems
2020Improving soil physical properties, such as aggregate stability, is essential to reducing soil erodibility, stabilizing C and nutrients, improving water, air, and heat fluxes, and supporting root growth. No-till (NT) farming generally improves soil aggregate stability near the soil surface, but the extent of this improvement can depend on the companion
