Conservation Tillage, Dryland Farming, Crop Residue, Soil ErosionAbstract
Most surface crop residues are buried in intensive tillage systems, which pulverize the soil and reduce surface roughness. Tilled systems may also hasten soil fertility loss and erosion, reducing the long-term sustainability of dryland agriculture. Conservation tillage systems can increase dryland agriculture sustainability by diminishing soil erosion, enhancing soil infiltration, decreasing soil moisture evaporation, and improving soil health and ecosystem services. This study examines the environmental and economic benefits of direct seeding and other forms of reduced tillage, as well as the sustainability difficulties caused by conventional tillage, such as soil erosion, soil fertility loss, organic matter depletion, and soil acidification.
