Deep Tillage Improves Degraded Soils in the (Sub) Humid Ethiopian Highlands

Land, 2019
Intensification of rainfed agriculture in the Ethiopian highlands has resulted in soil degradation and hardpan formation, which has reduced rooting depth, decreased deep percolation, and increased direct runoff and sediment transport.

Soil-physical aspects of zero-tillage experiments.

Netherlands Journal of Agricultural Science, 1970
Structural determinations (visual rating, penetro-meter resistance, core sampling) in zero-tillage experiments on various soils (marine loam, river clay, sand etc) showed greater soil densities in unfilled plots than after plowing (20 cm), while mean pore-space and standard deviation of pore-space were generally lower in untilled plots.

Comparative assessment of energy-cum-carbon flow of diverse tillage production systems for cleaner and sustainable crop production in the middle Indo-Gangetic Plains of South Asia

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
The most common cropping production system in South Asia, transplanted puddled rice followed by conventional-tillage wheat, is highly unsustainable, extremely energy-intensive, and emits a large amount of greenhouse gases.

Production potential and economics of wheat, Triticum aestivum as influenced by different planting methods in Punjab, India [PDF]

, 2016
The burning of rice straw after rice harvest in the Rice-Wheat System can be overcome by direct seeding of wheat by in standing and loose rice straw. To find out the most appropriate method of wheat sowing after rice crop in Sri Muktsar Sahib district, a

Influence of crop establishment and microbial inoculants on profitability and nutrient concentrations of summer greengram (Vigna radiata)

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
It was concluded that zero tillage with 2.5 t/ha residue of chickpea crop and combined inoculation of Rhizobium + PSB + AM Fungi gave higher productivity and profitability as well as enhanced macro and micro nutrients in grain and stover of summer ...
