Tillage practices contribute greatly to the labour cost in modern intensive agriculture in any crop production system resulting in lower economic returns, especially in developing countries where there is most concern for sustainable production without degradation of the natural resource base (Ja...

Carbon sustainability and productivity of maize based cropping system under conservation agriculture practices in Indo-Gangetic plains
Maize, wheat and rice, the major cereals grown as monoculture or in sequence, contribute the bulk of food and incomes in rural regions of South Asia. The large increases in food production are one of the greatest achievements of the second half of the 20th century, but sustaining these gains is a...

Conservation agriculture in cereal systems of South Asia: effect on crop productivity and carbon-based sustainability index
Soil carbon enhancing practices (SCEPs) have been proven to be low-cost solutions in
enhancing agricultural productivity and alleviate the detrimental effects of climate change.
These practices can be adopted as complementary or as substitute practices due to their
associated ecological benefits ...

Does the adoption of soil carbon enhancing practices pay off? Evidence on maize yields from Western Kenya.
Sustainable agricultural practices that enhance soil carbon simultaneously improve farm
yields and income. Despite the expansive literature on adoption of soil carbon practices in
Kenya, there is limited information on the impact of the elemental practices on farm output.
This study attempts to f...

An evaluation of the impact of soil carbon enhancing practices on farm output in Western Kenya
In the Ecuadorian Cordillera, the hardened volcanic ashes (cangahuas) account for 15% of the cultivated area. The soil resulting from the fragmentation of these materials, generally by heavy machinery, shows an apparent stable millimetric structure. However, this new structure is highly susceptib...

The importance of soil fertility constraints in modeling crop suitability under progressive climate change in Tanzania
This paper considers the economic prospects for reducing carbon emissions and increasing carbon storage in the habitable drylands of Africa. Particular attention is paid to the semi-arid and drier sub-humid agro-ecological zones of sub-Saharan Africa. Crop and animal agriculture are the main sour...
