Conservation Tillage, No-Tillage and Related Technologies
2003There is increasing awareness all over the world of the negative effects of conventional agriculture and the need to change traditional agricultural practices. The key problem of conventional agriculture faces, especially in the tropics, is the steady decline in soil fertility, which is closely correlated to the duration of soil use.

Production of Burley Tobacco Using No‐Tillage and Conventional Tillage
Journal of Production Agriculture, 1989If yields of burley tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Ky14) produced by no‐tillage were equal to yields of burley tobacco produced by conventional tillage, there would be several advantages. These advantages include elimination of seedbed preparation, conservation of soil water, reduced soil erosion, cleaner cured tobacco, more flexibility in ...

In the tropical regions of the world there exists a wide range of differences in climate, vegetation and soil resources. The so-called tropical zone comprises about one-third of the land surface of the earth. It is difficult to clearly define the tropics, and for convenience is often given a latitudinal definition, which includes the zone between ...

Ecology of low-input, no-tillage agroecosystems
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1989Abstract Low-input, no-tillage agroecosystems are a category of low-input, sustainable agroecosystems. No-tillage in combination with lower inputs generate ecological interactions similar to those occurring in natural terrestrial ecosystems. Primary production, predation, consumption, decomposition and nutrient cycling of low-input, no-tillage ...

Journal of Agricultural Engineering Research, 1995
Abstract Ridge tillage can be considered as an alternative to no-tillage in climates and environments which are not very favourable for the latter. It has been conceived almost exclusively for crops such as maize and soybean and this creates difficulties if small grains are introduced into a rotation based on the ridge tillage system.

Growth Analysis of Soybean under No‐Tillage and Conventional Tillage Systems
Agronomy Journal, 1999Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] plants grown with no‐tillage (NT) often appear smaller than those grown with conventional tillage (CT), yet they produce similar grain yield. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that the early‐season growth depression is offset by compensatory growth and changes in plant development.

Energy Requirement in No-Tillage
1984The production phase of U.S. agriculture uses large amounts of fossil energy as gasoline, diesel fuel, natural and L-P gas, oil, electricity, fertilizers, pesticides, feeds, seeds and machinery. Figure 6-1 shows an estimated division of the energy among the major uses in production agriculture.
