Abstract:
Increase in degradation of soil resource base and escalating soil degradation has been the result of the continuous usage of traditional or conventional practices of farming which involves tillage and burning the crop residues. With time, input costs like fuels, fertilizers, and others will increase which makes it necessary to use the resources effectively in agriculture. Conservation agriculture has emerged as a technological option for the better use and saving of resources available on the basis of its principles, which include giving minimum disturbance to the soil, covering the soil surface with cover crops or crop residues and crop rotation or crop diversification. They are considered as a good option for attaining the sustainability in crop production under varying environmental conditions as they aim to use the resources efficiently without degrading the soil resource base. This chapter gives a brief knowledge about the concept, aims, principles and advantages of adopting the conservation agriculture practices.
