*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:

And How Cover Crops Help with Root Colonization

Amir,

The next episode of the *Cover Crop Strategies* Podcast brought to you by Cover
Crop Innovators
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-hvDaq4kedw76qrweArb> is
now available. Listen to the full episode now >>
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-hvDaq4kedw78arweArqvDGr2FqA1tl8a>

It’s popular knowledge that cover crops play a role in improving soil
health — but do you understand the importance of mycorrhizal fungi as
covers do their job?

In this episode, "The Magical Underground World of Mycorrhiza, and How
Cover Crops Help with Root Colonization,"
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-hvDaq4kedw78qrweArqvDGr2FqA1tl8a>
Holtwood,
Pa., grower and Cover Crop Coach, Steve Groff, will lead a discussion that
defines what arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is, what it does for plant
growth, and the factors that discourage or encourage AMF — including what
cover crop species are hosts and those that are not.

Growers Tannis and Derek Axten from Axten Farms will also share what
they’ve been doing on their farm to understand AMF colonization so they can
manage it better on their operation in western Canada.

Thanks for listening,

*P.S. *Join the most innovative, forward-thinking farmers, agronomists and
researchers at the 6th annual National Strip-Tillage Conference in Peoria,
Ill., August 1-2, 2019. You'll learn practical cover cropping techniques
and hundreds of proven ideas to boost your yields with strip-tillage
farming. Check out the just-released speaker program to learn about cover
crop-focused sessions like, “Cracking the Cover Crop Code: Mixes, Methods &
Mistakes,” and “Calculating Cover Crop ROI: Bankable Benefits in
