The third chapter takes a closer look at the role of conservation tillage in organic farming, reviewing over two decades of practical, on-farm research. It outlines the primary advantages associated with conservation tillage, while also addressing the challenges and strategies for successful implementation. The fourth chapter explores the emergence of conservation tillage (CT) as a novel innovation in the Indo-Gangetic Plains of South Asia, particularly in addressing stagnant wheat yields. The chapter highlights the benefits of CT for soil health and crop yields, emphasizing the need for region-wide adoption to optimize agricultural productivity.
The final chapter delves into the advantages of zero-till maize cultivation, emphasizing reduced soil erosion and nutrient losses. It provides a summary of best management practices to optimize zero-till maize systems and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices.
