Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Soils [PDF]
Although it is common to alternate between till and no-till practices, past research has considered farmers’ tillage options to be limited to the dichotomous choice of whether or not to switch to a long-term no-till regime.

Assessing the Impact of International Natural Resource Management Research - The Case of Zero Tillage in India’s Rice-Wheat Systems [PDF]
A conservative ex-ante assessment of supply-shift gains alone (excluding social and environmental gains), shows that the investment in zero tillage (ZT) R&D by the Rice-Wheat Consortium and CIMMYT was highly beneficial with a benefit-cost ratio of 39, a ...
