*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. Conservation
Tillage, Reduced Tillage and Minimum Tillage are not Conservation
Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own* (more at:

*Innovative Methods and Tips for Getting Cover Crops Planted in a Timely
Manner*

With planting delayed in many states this year, getting cover crops seeded
this fall could be a challenge for many growers — with weather around
harvest being another factor to consider. Some growers might even need to
consider spring seeding or interseeding in 2020 to keep their cover crop
program in force and protect soil health.

There are many methods for planting cover crops, but which one works best
in a particular situation? Steve Groff will share some savvy approaches to
planting cover crops at different times of the year, and important tips to
remember when evaluating planting methods for different cover crop
scenarios.
