insight:

No-Till has become popular in dryland areas of China, but long-term issues
on undesirable soil properties may require occasional tillage to manage
these defects. This study looks at different frequencies of sub-soiling in
a no-tillage wheat maize farming systems in the dryland Loess Plateau of
China. There were three treatments -- NT every year, NT/ST where NT first
year rotated with subsoiling in the second year and NT/NT/ST where NT first
two years followed by sub-soiling in the third year. Water storage and
yields were higher in the ST treatments but SOC was less. The authors did
not explain how the residues were managed or impacted Water storage, yield
or SOC. Rotation did help and enhanced soil physical and chemical
properties.

insight:

In order to identify the key drivers on environmental impacts of farming
strategies this paper used long term trials in Europe to look at 1.
conventional vs. organic; 2. tillage - intensive versus no or reduced and
3. cover crops on environmental impacts, global warming impacts,
eutrophication, biodiversity and aquatic toxicity. There was not one
superior cropping system; the ranking depended on on the environmental
impact selected. The effects of tillage were much lower compared to the
cropping system. No-tillage although not always reduced had the potential
to reduce aquatic eutrophication. The conclude that N-fertilization
impacted many categories and improving the N-efficiency was a crucial
leverage point to improve environmental performance.

<http://sco.lt/4vIzhJ?_tmc=sWt58VfY71LryjvqmXlUtWPyP1eSJ9y7yDDy2OvJlyg&track=1>'s
insight:

The authors start by saying climate resilient cropping systems are required
to adapt to the threat of climate change in Southern Africa. They suggest
that the results for CA have a positive effect on adaptation and
productivity, but its mitigation potential lags far behind expectations. CA
does improve water infiltration rates and conserve soil moisture that helps
overcome seasonal dry spells. Increased productivity and profitability was
also positive although a lag period of 2-5 years is common before yields
are significantly higher. But savings in labor are attractive in the short
term to farmers using CA for those who cannot afford to wait for the yield
gains to show up. However, data on the effects of CA on SOC and reductions
in GHG's are often contradictory and dependent on the environment and
available surface residue retention. They suggest more emphasis is needed
on this topic.

This is a paper looking at maize-wheat systems in the Indo-Gangetic Plains
but also addition of a mungbean crop as an alternative to rice-wheat in NW
India. They looked at ZT, and bed planting compared to CT. Also included
fertilizer treatments. Results showed that site specific nutrient
management (SSNM) in this MWMb system attained the highest system
productivity, water use efficiency and incident radiation conversion
efficiency compared to conventional systems.

insight:

This paper is to quantify the impact of different conservation measures on
soil erosion and sediment dynamics in an agricultural catchment under
no-till in Southern Brazil. This is an area where there is still a lot of
erosion despite the use of NT. Rainfall, river discharges and suspended
sediments were monitored for 5 years. A water-sediment model was then
calibrated and used to assess different systems. Crop leveling and
terracing had the highest impact on soil erosion.Model simulations show
that no-till alone has a low impact on erosion processes and that
additional vegetation cover/density of the soil are needed to significantly
reduce sediment transfers. In wet years erosion is 34% more.

insight:

This studies uses simulation models to assess the consequences of different
residue management in durum wheat in Italy. 13 years of continuous wheat in
6 different management scenarios are simulated. The output variables were
biomass and grain yield, water used and percolated, and soil organic matter
content. included conventional, reduced and no-till treatments. The model
indicated SOC improvement under reduced and no-tillage treatments but the
highest SOC was achieved when residues were left on the soil surface.
However, this increment in SOC did not lead to a yield improvement.

insight:

This paper looks at the CA experiences in Europe as a possible soultion as
a holistic production system consistent with sustainable development that
also satisfies diverse local economies. The findings show that in fact CA
can be an alternative to conventional systems and can give a yield
advantage especially in dry years in the Mediterranean region. But public
support is needed to direct farming choices for these practices and have
policy makers recognize the benefits of CA for eco-system services.

insight:

This article reviews the evidence for CA as a way to mitigate climate
change by diverting CO2 from the atmosphere to the soil. He suggests that
increased soil profile water storage facilitates cropping intensity, keeps
the soil covered and reduces erosion, increases SOC and improves N
efficiency under dryland conditions. He also concludes that CA reduces the
quantity of residual nitrate and leaching and/or denitrification even under
high fertilizer-N use.

insight:

Farm level economics has been central to the debate on adoption of CA by
resource-poor farmers. This study uses farm-level data gathering from a
cross-sectional survey of 197 farmers in Mozambique. The study is enriched
by having observations each year of use. Contrary to previous research,
which has strongly suggested that better-off farmers are more likely to
find CA useful, the authors find evidence hat for the cohort of farmers
under study, the poorest are likely to find CA beneficial for a variety of
crop mixes and risk levels.

This paper uses simulation models using validated datasets from long-term
experiments to explore different management systems on soil organic carbon
dynamics and evaluate suitable mitigative options for climate change. They
used an ensemble of models to assess the impacts of climate change on SOC
stocks under conventional (CT) and conservation tillage (NT and RT) under
rainfed conditions with Durum wheat-maize rotation. CT systems were able to
store more SOC than CT and so can help mitigate climate change.

insight:

This paper aimed to capture the variability of rainfall on the efficiency
of mulching and limiting water stress using a crop growth model applied to
upland rice in Madagascar. It used a 17-year series of weather data with a
range of soil water conditions, sowing dates and growth and yield
limitations. In the majority of simulations, enhancing water infiltration
through CA mainly increased water loss through drainage. They suggest
better water infiltration may also reduce the production risks involved in
early sowing or crop intensification and offer new opportunities for
farmers.
