Conservation tillage practices refer to methods of soil cultivation that minimize soil disturbance and promote soil health. They include techniques such as no-till or reduced-till farming, cover cropping, and crop rotation. Conservation tillage practices have numerous benefits, such as reducing soil erosion, increasing soil organic matter, and improving water retention. They also help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by promoting carbon sequestration in soil. Overall, conservation tillage practices are an important component of sustainable agriculture that can improve soil health, reduce environmental impacts, and support long-term food security.
