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 517 $aCAB International Book Archive, titles from 2005, 2006, 2007 606 $aNo-tillage 606 $aNo-tillage 606 $aAgriculture$2HILCC 606 $aEarth & Environmental Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aAgriculture - General$2HILCC 615 4$aNo-tillage. 615 0$aNo-tillage 615 7$aAgriculture 615 7$aEarth & Environmental Sciences 615 7$aAgriculture - General 676 $a631.5/31 676 $a631.51 676 $a631.531 700 $aBaker$b C.
