Does zero tillage save or increase production costs? Evidence from smallholders in Kyrgyzstan
International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, 2023 Promoting zero tillage has been recognized as an important strategy for smallholders from an agronomic perspective. However, the economic effects of adopting zero tillage are still a matter of debate. Employing an endogenous switching regression model on

Zero tillage and water productivity: A review [PDF]
International Journal of Chemical Studies, 2020 Nevertheless, zero tillage is the best choice because crop residues retained in zero tillage decreases evaporation, controls soil temperature, reduces erosion, reduces total cultivation costs, increases soil organic carbon stock, enhances water use efficiency and increases crop yield on sustainable crops. A range of resource management technologies are
