Anchored on the three core principles of minimum tillage (MT), crop residue retention, and crop rotation; conservation agriculture (CA) technologies have been actively promoted over nearly the last two decades as potential solutions to raise farm productivity in the context of increased climate variability.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/198701}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.198701}, }
