Conservation agriculture (CA) practices combine the use of soil cover, crop combinations, and reduced tillage. There has been widespread promotion of CA practices in southern Africa. The aim of this chapter is to take stock of the advances in understanding the CA systems and to define the benefit...


Nhamo, N.Lungu, O.N.[Opportunities for smallholder farmers to benefit from conservation agricultural practices]Opportunities for smallholder farmers to benefit from conservation agricultural practices

Over the years, research conducted on the crop focused mainly on agronomic, soil fertility maintenance and soil conservation practices. Very few studies were conducted on the basic physiology of the plant. Except for the use of fertilizers and a change in varieties, very few farmers adopted the ...

Results of agronomic research are reviewed and suggestions for further research are given. Research is needed to derive methods that will enable farmers to integrate climbing beans into their current crop production systems. The wide gap between genetic yield potential and actual results on farme...

Se revisan los resultados de la investigacion agronomica y se dan sugerencias para otras investigaciones. Se necesita que la investigacion proporcione metodos que faciliten al agricultor la incorporacion del frijol trepador a sus sistemas tradicionales de produccion de cultivos. La gran brecha en...

When genealogists conduct research on family trees, they often go back across many generations and even centuries to learn as much as possible about where that family originated. Along that same line, scientists at Bioversity International have been doing their own genealogical research for the l...

Intensive tillage based management practices are threatening soil quality and systems sustainability in the ricewheat belt of Northwest India. Furthermore, it is accentuated with puddling of soil, which disrupts soil aggregates. Conservation agriculture (CA) practices involving zero tillage, crop...

Earthworms are important for soil functioning in arable cropping systems and earthworm species differ in their response to soil tillage and crop residue management. Lumbricus terrestris (Linnaeus, 1758) are rare in intensively tilled arable fields. In two parallel field trials with either non-inv...

Vegetation indices from Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) observations on single dates in August 1988, a drought year, and August 1989, a year with wet early season conditions, were used to study the impact of agricultural management and cultural practices on soybean (Glycine max) and corn (Zea mays...

The two years on-farm tillage research during the 1999 and 2000 cropping seasons in Ethiopian highland Vertisol area demonstrated the importance of adapting cultural practices into participatory trials. The minimum tillage package could be an effective intervention for soil conservation due to th...
