Abstract
Conventional agriculture production system have led to second generation problems such as deteriorating soil health, declining soil organic matter and increasing multiple deficiencies of major nutrients (N, P, K, and S) and micronutrients (Zn, Fe, and Mn) due to their over mining from soils. Furthermore, the manufacture of chemical fertilizers and the operation of heavy machinery for tillage under conventional agriculture require high amounts of nonrenewable fossil fuels and release harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Conservation agriculture (CA) is a concept for resource-saving agricultural crop production system, in which greatly reduces soil erosion and actually builds up soil organic matter reserves and soil fertility. CA aims to conserve, improve and make more efficient use of natural resources through integrated management of available soil, water and biological resources combined with external inputs. It contributes to environmental conservation as well as to enhanced and sustained agricultural production. It can also be referred to as resource-efficient and resource-effective agriculture.
