Description

Enhanced soil quality, increased soil moisture, soil disturbance and erosion reduction, weed suppression, increased yields, and reduced fuel and farm equipment requirements are some of the advantages of utilizing conservation cropping (zero or reduced tillage, direct seeding) systems. In this study, long-term (20 year) changes in conservation cropping system adoption, crop diversification and production (both quantity and precipitation use efficiency) were evaluated in the Brown, Dark Brown and Black Soil Zones of Alberta.
