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:· soil carbon and how its retention or sequestration CAB International Book Archive, titles from 2005, 2006, 2007No-tillageNo-tillageAgricultureHILCCEarth & Environmental SciencesHILCCAgriculture - GeneralHILCCNo-tillage.No-tillageAgricultureEarth & Environmental SciencesAgriculture - General631.5/31631.51631.531Baker C.
