Using measured change in SOC stocks with a diachonic method (10 yrs) and equivalent soil mass, we also calculated changes in #carbondioxide and the overall #greenhousegas balance. We showed that cassava grown under #conservationagriculture resulted in a large net climate mitigation benefit,

Impacts of long-term conservation agriculture and nitrogen management on maize yield, soil carbon sequestration, and nitrogen cycling in the Indo-Gangetic Plains - Agronomy for Sustainable Development To address sustainability challenges in the North-Western Indo-Gangetic Plains (NW-IGP), conservation agriculture and diversification from rice to maize have been promoted. However, nitrogen (N) manag...

Root cutters: perennial weed control with a low risk of soil erosion and nutrient leaching - Agronomy for Sustainable Development It is essential to reduce pesticide and tillage use in agricultural systems, but better alternatives for controlling perennial weeds are needed. The horizontal and vertical root cutters can fragment t...

A day in the field in Cambodia 🇰🇭, to visit a trial were we compare CH4 and N2O emissions in alternate wet drying and conventional #rice 🌾cropping systems, and another one about #conservationagriculture & #covercrops in rice systems with a special focus on pesticide reduction @jdemenois.bsky.social

SolarSPELL libraries yield big wins for Rwandan farmers – ASU SolarSPELL Initiative

Thanks to B2R Farms Fellows & #SolarSPELL libraries, thousands of Rwandan farmers have increased their yields using #ConservationAgriculture (CA) — >56% on average! What's more, these farmers went on to teach CA to 2.5x more of the peers. Read more at solarspell.org/solarspell-l...

🌱 Recently got to present to all 93 B2R Farms Fellows, who've been using SolarSPELL to help train farmers in #ConservationAgriculture. We shared both insights from farmer survey data & news from partners in South Sudan. Great to meet new fellows & see familiar faces!

Indiana is a leader in #conservationagriculture, which has a lot of benefits, such as reducing soil erosion, building organic matter, and improving soil structure.

On Dec 2 & 3, we had our annual meeting of the CrosyeN project (PEPR FairCarboN) at UMR AGIR @inrae-france.bsky.social . A good opportunity to visit their long-term trials on #organicfarming #conservationagriculture #covercrops. Thank you to Lionel Alletto for hosting us & for the field tour

It's World Soil Day tomorrow, celebrating the amazing universe beneath our feet! Without the soil, there'd be no food, clothing, or shelter.

How will you celebrate World Soil Day?

Diachronic assessment of soil organic C and N dynamics under long-term no-till cropping systems in the tropical upland of Cambodia Abstract. No-till (NT) cropping systems have been proposed as a strategy to combat soil degradation by storing soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN). We quantified the impacts of NT croppi...
