✦ Synopsis

This book aims to provide an up-to-date state-of-the-art review on various aspects of Conservation Agriculture (CA) by reviewing the past and current research from various regions of the globe so that all others interested in CA could benefit from experiences gained under different agroclimatic and socio-economic conditions across the globe. This review would aid in learning from the past experience regarding the success or otherwise of CA. Knowledge gained from this volume should further help in the implementation of CA and in the understanding of the role and importance of CA to secure sustainable crop intensification for the benefit of future generations as well. The challenges in implementing CA that need to be resolved through future research and development for a larger scale support and the spread of CA are considered. Available In Print
