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 ...

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 ...

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.
