What is conserving agriculture
Conservation agriculture is a management
system that maintains a soil cover through
surface retention of crop residue with no
till/zero and reduced tillage.
It aims at reversing the process of
degradation inherent to the conventional
agricultural practices like intensive
agriculture, burning/removal of crop
residues.
Principle of CA

 Conservation agriculture
basically relies on 3
principles.These are:

 Minimal mechanical soil


disturbance
 Permanent organic soil
cover
 Diversified crop rotations
Benefits of CA
Improves soil structure
Reduced soil erosion
Less water run off and soil erosion
Reduction in labour and energy use
Increase soil organic matter
Improve nutrient management
Improve soil moisture retention
Greater biological pest control
techniques
Direct seeding-Direct seeding is
a conservation tillage method which aims to
establish agricultural and environmental
sustainability. It reduces crop water use and
greenhouse gas emissions, and alters soil organic
matter (SOM) turnover, nutrient relations, and
weed biota.
It is done by various equipment and machinery.
Dibbler
Tractor operated direct seeded rice
Happy seader
No tillage
No-till farming is an agricultural technique for
growing crops or pasture without disturbing the
soil through tillage. No-till farming decreases the
amount of soil erosion tillage causes in certain
soils, especially in sandy and dry soils on sloping
terrain.
It does not disturb soil microrganism.
Mulching
Mulching is the
placement of any organic
or inorganic material over
the top of a soil surface
to protect it. Some of the
benefits include:
reduced soil erosion, less
compaction,
moisture conservation,
increased control
of soil temperature, and a
reduction in weed growth.
Relay cropping
Relay cropping is a method
of multiple cropping where
one crop is seeded into
standing second crop well
before harvesting of
second crop. Relay
cropping may solve a
number of conflicts such as
inefficient use of available
resources, controversies in
sowing time, fertilizer
application and soil
degradation
Inter cropping
Intercropping is the
growing of two or
more crops together in
proximity on the same
land. As a result, two or
more crops are
managed at the same
time. It differs
from crop rotation in
which two or
more crops are grown
one after the other.Both
these cropping pattern
