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
