“…However, this increased quantity of water did not deliver any increased crop production. Also Moreno et al (1997) reported that the yields of the wheat crop, and also of sunflower, were slightly higher in the conservation tillage treatment than in the traditional tillage. They concluded that the conservation tillage seems to be highly effective in enhancing both soil water recharge and water conservation, particularly in those years with precipitation that is much lower than average.…”

Soil quality and fertility are associated with its productivity, and this in turn is connected to the soil biological activity. To study these effects, well designed long-term field experiments that provide comprehensive data sets are the most applicable. Four treatments (tillage methods) were set up: (1) conventional tillage (CT); (2) no tillage (NT); (3) minimum tillage + straw (MTS), and (4) no tillage + mulch (NTM). Our objective was to assess the relationships between soil microbial characteristics and winter wheat yields under these different techniques of conservation tillage within a field experiment, originally established in 1995. The differences in average grain yields over time period [2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009] between the variants were not statistically significant. Organic carbon in the topsoil was higher in plots with conservation tillage (NT, MTS, and NTM), than in the conventional tillage plots. There was a statistically significant correlation (P ≤ 0.01) between the grain yields and organic C content in topsoil.

“…This can be partly explained by the fact that in these systems crop residues are maintained on the surface, producing less evaporation and greater (Lampurlanés et al 2001). Moreno et al (1997) and Lamm et al (2009) also reported higher soil water content under no-tillage or zero tillage than under conventional tillage. On the other hand, Hussain et al (1999) found non-significant differences of the soil water content on silty loam (Albic Luvisol) between the conventional tillage, conservation tillage and no-till systems.…”

The four-year trial was conducted in north-western Slavonia (main arable crop producing region in Croatia) to evaluate the effects of different tillage systems on the water content of silty loam soil (Albic Luvisol) and yields of maize (Zea mays L.) and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The tillage systems compared were: conventional tillage; reduced conventional tillage; conservation tillage I; conservation tillage II (CM); no-tillage (NT). During the study period, there were one dry, two wet and one average season. Soil water content (SWC) was measured at 0-5, 15-20 and 30-35 cm depths on a monthly basis. Tillage systems had significant (P < 0.05) effects on SWC and yields. The highest average SWC in all seasons was measured under the NT system, followed by the CM system. In the second season, the highest yield was measured under the NT system while in all other seasons, it was under the CM system.

“…No till has been widely claimed as highly effective practice for conservation of soil and water as compared to conventional tillage. Greater retention of water in soil profile under conservation tillage has been reported (Moreno et al, 1997). Conservation tillage usually changes soil organic matter distribution in the A-Horizon (Angers et al, 1997).…”

The climate of the terai region of West Bengal, India in general, is subtropical par humid to tropical with light textured acid soil with the problems like low moisture retention, low water use efficiency, leaching of bases, soil erosion, limited availability of multiple plant nutrients and restricted activity of beneficial soil micro-organisms. To combat these soil health related problems and to improve the overall productivity of North Bengal, a comparison between the conventional and conservation tillage was taken up and the immediate results were measured in terms of growth, yield attributes and yield. In the first two years of experimentation, though different growth attributes, grain yield, stover yield, and different yield attributing characters such as kernel rows cob -1 , number of kernels row -1 , 100 seed weight (g), number of seeds cob -1 , girth of cob, length of cob and number of effective cob plant -1 were higher in conventional tillage as compared to conservation tillage but in terms of soil heath characteristics, conservation tillage had a meaningful remark from the initial years towards the future food security. Mulching @ 4 t ha -1 was found to have performed better than unmulched treatments. Application of 75% recommended dose of fertilizer + Vermicompost @ 10 t ha -1 resulted in better growth and yield attributes which directly influenced to have higher grain and stover yield.
