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

Improving nitrogen management for zero-tillage rice in China
Crop Journal, 2018 Zero-tillage has become increasingly attractive in rice production in China. This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of two possible improved N management practices with fewer N applications in zero-tillage rice: (1) two split applications of urea at 75 kg N ha−1 at mid-tillering and 45 kg N ha−1 at panicle initiation (U120–2), and (2) a ...
