For sustainable agricultural production, we propose bio-tillage, which is defined as
improving soil structure with plant roots to boost the growth of crops, in this paper. Cover …

Soil can be degraded by several natural or human-mediated processes, including wind,
water, or tillage erosion, and formation of undesirable physical, chemical, or biological …

Meta-analysis is often used to compare how soil health differs between organic and
conventional farming systems. However, the burgeoning primary literature on organic …

Winter cover crops (WCCs) provide agronomic and environmental benefits, although their
impacts on subsequent crop yields have been reported to vary across regions, soils, or …

This study examines the impact of cover crop adoption on soil erosion levels in the United
States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county-level panel data set with information on soil …

Extreme heat, droughts, pests, diseases, and short bursts of heavy rain make potato
production unsustainable. This unfavorable environment negatively affects potato …

Empirical records provide incontestable evidence for the global rise in carbon dioxide (CO
2) concentration in the earth's atmosphere. Plant growth can be stimulated by elevation of …

We evaluate three farmer behavioral responses to incentive payments for ecosystem
services, specifically a cover crop cost-share program aimed at reducing nitrogen loads in …

The inclusion of cover crops in crop** systems brings direct and indirect costs and
benefits. Farmers will adopt and utilize cover crops as long as the perceived benefit of using …

With growing agricultural demands from both conventional and organic systems comes the
need for sustainable practices to ensure long-term productivity. Implementation of reduced …
