The grass is always greener (and the soil is healthier) on the side of conservation agriculture
Conservation agriculture (CA) practices are adaptable and can be customized to the requirements of crops and local conditions. While this farming system considers soil health and the impact it has on the ecosystem, it is not without its disadvantages. The early days of CA implementation may present various problems, such as nitrogen immobilization and weed interference. Both […]

Conservation agriculture optimizes nitrogen use and weed management
In this study, researchers from the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute in India focused on efficient nitrogen (N) management and weed management in the Indo-Gangetic Plains using different means. The results of their study were published in the journal Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science. Conservation agriculture (CA) practice increases agronomic productivity and soil fertility. However, CA stimulates N immobilization […]
