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