摘要：

The practice of turning the soil before planting a new crop is an age-old practice and this is the leading cause of farmland degradation. Hence no-till and other conservation tillage systems are used for wide range of climates to reduce soil erosion, conservation of water, improving soil health, reducing sediment and fertilizer pollution of lakes and streams, and sequestering carbon.
