*Global CA-CoP* *CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE* *for sustainable agriculture and land management* Dear Subscribers, Please see herebelow the latest This Week's No-Till Highlight, 14 June 2020. Apologies for any cross-posting. *Amir Kassam * *Moderator* *Global CA-CoP* e-mail: [log in to unmask] URL: http://www.fao.org/conservation-agriculture *Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to regenerative sustainable agriculture and land management based on the practical application of context-specific and locally adapted three interlinked principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance (no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with all other farm operations including harvesting); (ii) permanent maintenance of soil mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops); and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations involving annuals and/or perennials, including legumes and cover crops), along with other complementary good agricultural production and land management practices. Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all continents, involving rainfed and irrigated systems including annual cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and plantation systems, agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, pasture and rangeland systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems.* ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: No-Till Farmer Weekly Digest <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2020 at 13:00 Subject: This Week's No-Till Highlights To: <[log in to unmask]> <https://lessiter.omeclk.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-coy-ba-7ybzE-ehDFrD2c%7CsoE%5EDaxjb> <https://lessiter.omeclk.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-coy-ba-7ybzE-%7ChDFrD2c%7CsoE%5EDaxjb> WEEKLY DIGEST [image: No-Till Farmer] <https://lessiter.omeclk.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-coy-ba-7ybzE-qhDFrD2f0kPxk-jwPNTc> Weekly Digest June 14, 2020 NO-TILL NEWS EPA Issues Final Ruling on Dicamba Registrations <https://lessiter.omeclk.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-coy-ba-7ybzE-%5EhDFrD2f0kPxk-jwPNTc> After several days of confusion about a federal court decision revoking certain dicamba registrations, and whether or not states had to comply, the EPA has offered clarity on future sales and use of existing stocks.
