*Conservation Agriculture is based on the practical application of three
interlinked principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil
disturbance (no-till seeding/planting and no-till weeding); (ii) permanent
maintenance of soil much cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops); and
(iii) diversification of cropping system (rotations and/or sequences and/or
associations involving annuals and perennials, including legumes), along
with other complementary good agricultural production management practices*
(more at: www.fao.org/ag/ca).
