Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book is a much-expanded and updated edition of a previous volume, published in 1996 as ""No-tillage Seeding: Science and Practice"". The base objective remains to describe, in lay terms, a range of international experiments designed to examine the causes of successes and failures in no-tillage. The book summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of no tillage. It highlights the pros and cons of a range of features and options, without promoting any particular product.Topics added or covered in more detail in the second edition include:ยท soil carbon and how its retention or sequestration |
